SUMMARY:"Was There a Syriac Lectio Divina? The Development of Contemplative Reading in the Monasteries of the Church of the East (400-700 C.E.)"
DESCRIPTION:Contemplative reading is a spiritual practice developed by Christian monks in the early Middle Ages. This talk traces the history of monastic reading in sixth- and seventh-century Mesopotamia. Ascetics belonging to the Church of the East pursued a form of contemplation which moved from reading\, to meditation\, to prayer\, to the ecstasy of divine vision. The development of this Syriac tradition can be seen through three phases: its establishment as an ascetic practice\, the articulation of its theology based upon “Egyptian” sources\, and its maturation and spread beyond Mesopotamia to other regions of Eastern Christianity.
