The Poetic World of St Nersess Shnorhali

(Vemkar) - Dr. Jesse Arlen discusseed "The Poetic World of St. Nersess Shnorhali" focusing on the way in which St. Nersess was one of the first writers of the Armenian Christian tradition to write not for monks, other clerics, or members of the high nobility, but at a more popular level, preferring the genres of poetry and song to capture the hearts of the people and to make Scriptural content as beautiful and accessible as possible for the general population.
