Description
Book SynopsisThis volume presents an edition of Thomas of Edessa's Syriac text of Nativity and Epiphany, accompanied by a facing English translation. These discourses, with the editors' introduction and notes, elucidate Thomas's place in the theological development of the Church of the East.
Trade Review...Possekel and Coakley must be thanked for this valuable publication, which will undoubtedly function as the standard edition and English version for years to come. It contributes to our understanding of Syriac-speaking Christianity in late antiquity and provides the basis for future research concerning the reception of earlier traditions in the Church of the East in the early sixth century. * Nathan Witkamp, The Journal of Theological Studies *
