This book is a collection of articles written by the eminent
scholar and Syrian Orthodox Patriarch Ephrem Barsaum. The

this volume display Barsoum's characteristic erudition and
scholarly thoroughness and cover a wide variety of topics, all
related to the history of the various Syriac-speaking churches and
the churches of Antioch, in addition to other Middle Eastern
Churches.
