Abdisho of Nisibis (d. 1318), also known as Abdisho of Soba or Bar Brikha, was a prominent East Syriac writer during the thirteenth and early fourteenth century. While many of his works did not survive, his The Paradise of Eden, a collection of theological poetry, reached us. It was also known in Arabic as the Maqāmāt. The Paradise was first published by G. Cardahi, Paradisus Eden, in 1889. Later it was issued by Joseph E. Y. de Kelaita in Urmia in 1916, and for a second time in Mosul in 1928, from which the current edition is made. This edition also includes other poems by Bar Hebraeus, Bar Ma`dani, Khamis bar Qardahi, and Mar Narsai.

    Terms for Eternity

    What is truly timeless? This book explores two ancient Greek terms for eternity, aiônios and aïdios. It traces these terms from their earliest occurrence in Pre-Socratic philosophy and Plato and through their interaction with Jewish thought and down into the patristic fathers, where they play a crucial role in debates over eternal punishment vs. universal salvation.

    The Wisdom of Isaac of Nineveh

    From one of the most thought-provoking writers in the monastic tradition, this volume contains 153 short, contemplative sayings of St. Isaac of Nineveh (fl. 661-681 CE) in their original Syriac with facing English translation. St. Isaac was ordained bishop of Nineveh but resigned his post only five months later and became a monastic hermit in the mountains of southeastern Iraq. This work speaks to believing Christians today as well as scholars wishing to learn more about the Eastern monastic tradition.

    Leshono Suryoyo

    John Healey’s, Leshono Suryoyo, is an introductory grammar for those wishing to learn to read Classical Syriac, one of the major literary dialects of Aramaic and the language of one of the main groups of Middle Eastern churches, including the Syrian Orthodox Church, the Church of the East, and the Chaldaean Church. From the first centuries of the Christian era, Syriac was used by the main theological and historical writers of this tradition (Ephrem the Syrian, Philoxenus of Mabbogh, Thomas of Marga, and Barhebraeus). It also continues to be used in worship.
