Pastoral Catechesis of Mar Jacob of Serugh | Fr. Dr. Thomas Kollamparampil

In his metrical homilies, Mar Jacob of Serugh concerns himself greatly with catechetical preaching. He bases his dominical homilies on Old and New Testament events. By his discursive reflections on Scriptures, he brings out quite discerningly the unity between the Old and New Testament economies, the progress of a single history and teaching of salvation guided, governed, and perfected by Christ. Mar Jacob delivers a coherent catechesis covering the periods of the Old and New Testaments and that of the Church. He composes his homiletical exegesis and catechetical instructions to upbuild the community of believers. Thus, his catechetical preaching enables the faithful to see discerningly Christ’s Mysteries with the “eye of faith.” It also allows them to participate in those Mysteries celebrated by all Christians.

Dr. Thomas Kollamparampil, CMI is Professor of Theology at the Pontifical Athenaeum, Dharmaran Vidiya Ksheteram, Bangalore, India.
