A new edition of the study of Syriac Christianity up to the early
fifth century CE: its beliefs and worship; its life and art.
In this classic work, Robert Murray offers the fullest and most
vivid picture yet available of the development and character of the
culture, illustrating both its original close relationship to
Judaism and its remoter background in Mesopotamian civilization. He
is interested in the subsequent influence of Syriac Christian
culture, particularly on European literature.
The largely revised Introduction (now assisted by a sketch map)
locates Syriac as an Aramaic dialect, then traces the origins of
Syriac Christianity, its relationship to Jewish Christianity and
the Syriac Bible version, the character of Syriac asceticism
(including Marcionism and Manichaeism), and of the Christian
schools. Key Syriac terms are explained, and all citation of Syriac
texts throughout the work are given in translation either by other
scholars or by the author.
The second part of the introduction reviews the literature studied
in the following chapters, concentrating on Aphrahat and Ephrem. In
both parts, a number of positions adopted in the first edition are
revised in the light of recent studies, the bibliographical details
of which are given in the greatly increased number of footnotes.
This book deals with a topic of interdisciplinary importance, at
the cultural crossroads of the ancient and medieval worlds of east
and west, and of Christianity, Judaism and Islam. It will be of
interest to a wide range of scholars and students.
