Description
Aphrahat the Persian Sage, (fl. 337-345 C.E.), was a Syriac Christian author who wrote twenty-three treatises entitled The Demonstrations.
This book examines “temple” as a key image for Aphrahat’s theological anthropology.
The temple is central for both Jews and Christians; it is the place of sacrifice, meeting, and communication with the Divine.
For Aphrahat, the devout Christian person may be a micro-temple which then allows one to encounter the divine both within oneself and through a vision ascent to the heavenly temple.
