A refereed journal published annually by the Canadian Society for
Syriac Studies. This volume includes articles by Robert Kitchen,
Khalid Dinno, Nima Jamali, Amir Harrak, Vincent van Vossel and Tala
Jarjour.
In this fourth installment of the long Homily 71, On the Six Days
of Creation, Jacob treats of the events of the fourth day, the
creation of the spheres of light over the earth: the sun to rule
over the day, and the moon and the stars to rule over the night.
This book gathers a wide range of theological perspectives from
Orthodox European countries, Russia and the United States in order
to demonstrate how divergent the positions are within Orthodox
Christianity. Orthodoxy is often considered to be out-of-sync with
contemporary society, set apart in a world of its own where the
church intertwines with the state, in order to claim power over the
populace and ignore the individual voices of modern societies. As a
collective, these essays present a different understanding of the
relationship of Orthodoxy to secular politics; comprehensive,
up-to-date and highly relevant to politically understanding today's
world. The contributors present their views and arguments by
drawing lessons from the past, and by elaborating visions for how
Orthodox Christianity can find its place in the contemporary
liberal democratic order, while also drawing on the experience of
the Western Churches and denominations. Touching upon aspects such
as anarchism, economy and political theology, these contributions
examine how Orthodox Christianity reacts to liberal democracy, and
explore the ways that this branch of religion can be rendered more
compatible with political modernity.
Widely regarded as a premier journal dedicated to the study of
Syriac, Hugoye: Journal of Syriac Studies was established in 1998
as a venue devoted exclusively to the discipline. An organ of Beth
Mardutho, the Syriac Institute, the journal appears semi-annually
and will be printed in annual editions. A peer-reviewed journal,
Hugoye is a respected academic source for up-to-date information
about the state of Syriac studies and for discovering what is going
on in the field. Contributors include some of the most respected
names in the world of Syriac today.
