“Inclination” (yaṣrā) in the Syriac tradition
- Abstract:
-
The Syriac term yaṣrā, “inclination,” “urge,” “wilfulness,” and its use in Syriac texts, has not until recently been the subject of any detailed study, and this is perhaps surprising not only because of its interest for an understanding of early Syriac Christian thought, but also for its potential contribution to discussions of the origins and development of Jewish concepts of the yeṣer.
