An Introduction to the Transcendental Leap: A Study on the Eucharist as the Medicine of Life in St. Ephrem

Discover the profound theological vision of St. Ephrem, one of Christianity's most evocative poets and thinkers, as he presents the Eucharist as a transformative "Medicine of Life." In this groundbreaking work, Fr. Joby John introduces the concept of the Transcendental Leap, showing how divine meaning transcends words to reach the human mind, heart, and imagination.

Blending ancient Syriac wisdom with modern insights from cognitive science and literary theory through Neuro-Contextual Analysis (NCA), this book offers a fresh, interdisciplinary perspective on faith, symbolic meaning, and the mystery of the Eucharist. Readers are invited to explore how St. Ephrem's imagery engages memory, emotion, and moral reasoning, creating a bridge between spiritual tradition and contemporary thought.

Whether you are a theologian, scholar, or seeker of spiritual insight, this book illuminates the dynamic interplay between language, cognition, and divine encounter-revealing how the sacred leaps beyond the page to touch the human soul.
