Jacob of Serugh's vision of 'Salvation in Christ', in its exegetical, theological, catechetical, liturgical and pastoral aspects, is reviewed in this monograph. Jacob's mode of symbolic-mystical-silence approach to the mystery of Christ is explained. This treatise gathers up Jacob's typological and symbolic thought-patterns, in his own language, categories, terminologies, and imageries.
