Light on the Four Gospels from the Sinai Palimpsest (Gorgias Theological Library)

Commenting on an invaluable document that she personally found, Agnes Smith Lewis expresses her professional insights on this earliest extant version of the Syriac Gospels. This fourth century document, erased and written over, was discovered in the library of St. Catherine's Monastery on Mount Sinai in 1892. In addition to discussing New Testament variants Lewis also addresses the issue of how science and biblical teaching might coexist. PREFACE CONTENTS CHAPTER I. PRELIMINARY CHAPTER II.
