Professor Susan Ashbrook Harvey publishes her latest book, Ministries of Song:

Women's Voices in Ancient Syriac Christianity (December 2025).“Ministries of Song is a tour-de-force study of the power of women's liturgical singing in late antique Syriac Christianity. Extending women's religious participation beyond the familiar roles of female saints and nobles, Syriac churches cultivated a flourishing but often-overlooked tradition of women's sacred song. Susan Ashbrook Harvey brings this music to life as she uncovers the ways these now-nameless women performed a boldly sung teaching ministry and invited congregations to respond aloud.”
