Summary/Abstract: The Book of Steps, an anonymous work composed by an author who, for a period, was a contemporary of Saint Ephrem the Syrian († 373) reveals, on the one hand, the situation of the Church in Mesopotamia in the 4th century, and on the other hand, through the spiritual teaching it presents, serves as a valuable witness to the primitive spirituality of this apostolic Church. The Homily on Repentance, representing Memra 24 of the Book of Steps, clarifies certain statements made by Saint Paul the Apostle in the Epistle to the Hebrews regarding repentance.
