Ephrem (or Ephren or Ephraim or Ephrain) of Edessa was a teacher, poet, orator, and defender of the Faith. (To English-speakers, the most familiar form of his name will be "Ephraim." It is the name of the younger son of Joseph, son of Jacob (see Genesis 41:52), and is thus the name of one of the largest of the twelve tribes of Israel.)

SBC - Saint Ephrem - English

In connection with the widespread revival of interest in Catholic theology during the current century, many of the Fathers and Doctors of the Church, all but forgotten just a generation ago, are being studied and appreciated anew. Among the Fourth Century theologians of Eastern Christendom, St. Athanasius and St. Basil have received close attention. It must, however, be recognized that their Syrian contemporary, St. Ephrem, although well known to Catholics under his title of "harp of the Holy Ghost," is little read in our day.
