Invitation to Syriac Christianity: An Anthology

When people think of premodern Christianity, they most often think of Christianity as a European religion or—at the very least—as a religion of the Mediterranean. That is, they picture Christianity’s early spread corresponding roughly to that of the ancient Roman Empire. So, too, when people think of classics of Christian literature, they most often envisage works written by authors such as Athanasius, Augustine, or Aquinas. That is, they consider texts originally composed in Greek and Latin.
