| Summary: | In The Madrasha on Virginity 42–50 Ephrem uses the Book of Jonah as a tool for teaching and bringing the salvific truths to the listeners, while the way of performing the madrashe enables his addressees and performers (through the symbols) to participate in events related to Jonah by enlivening them. In the madrashe, Ephrem connects things and events that are chronologically distant, writes dialogues and speeches that are found nowhere else, addresses Jonah directly and asks him questions, and polysemy is indispensable. The article tries to translate Ephrem’s thoughts into “modern way of communication.” |
