The first critical editions and English translations of the two
Syriac recensions of a fascinating text which narrates the story of
a young Jewish child, Asher. After converting to Christianity and
taking the name 'Abda da-Msiha ('slave of Christ'), he is martyred
by his father. In a detailed introduction, Butts and Gross
challenge the use of this text by previous scholars as evidence for
historical interactions between Jews and Christians, reevaluating
its purpose and situating the story in its Late Antique Babylonian
context.
