Afrahat Seine Person Und Sein Verstandnis Des Christentums: Ein Beitrag Zur Geschichte Der Kirche Im Osten (syriac Studies Library) (german Edition)

In this important study, still a standard resource on Aphrahat, Schwen deals with that writer’s life, works, and doctrine. It will be of certain use for students of Syriac literature and early Syriac Christianity.

Originally the fourth in a series of five lectures delivered at Harvard University, this extract is an early attempt to tackle a formidable subject: the religion of ancient Iraq, or Mesopotamia. Noting that sacred writings are nearly universal among religions, Rogers offers a brief exposition on the sacred writings of the ancient Mesopotamians. Engaging and informative, Rogers' narrative is accessible to the specialist and general reader alike.
