One of the earliest yet still enduring divisions within Christianity is the split between the Syriac Orthodox, or miaphysite, tradition and the traditions that affirm the Chalcedonian statement of faith. However, because the history of the Oriental Orthodox traditions has often been omitted from the history of the Western Christian traditions, many are unaware of a branch of Christianity with a distinct view of Christology that has persisted since the fifth-century. In the present volume, Mor Philoxenus Yuhanon Dolabani provides an explanation of the distinct Christology of the Syrian Orthodox Church and discusses the reasons for the division with the Chalcedonian tradition. The volume includes a preface by Julius Yeshu Çiçek, former Metropolitan of Central Europe, and an extensive introduction by the author.

    The Two-Edged Sea

    Much Mediterranean migrant literature captures the Mediterranean’s fossilized binaries, North and South. But, The Two-Edged Sea also reveals that one inheres within the other. While the book explores two Mediterraneans, with asymmetrical power relations that reflect the sea’s northern and southern shores, it also delves into how they have been in dialogue with each other, effectively deconstructing the binary. Charting undocumented journeys from the Mediterranean’s southern shores, the book contributes both to discourse on migration literature and the current resurgence of the study of seas, while advancing the idea of the Mediterranean as both a dividing border and unifying contact zone.

    Historiography and Hierotopy

    Judean hagiographies are unusual. Some are unexpectedly structured: a saint’s life in the form of a history text. Others offer surprising content. Expected hagiographic stylizations, for example, often depict moments in which the saint is offered money for a miracle. In such cases the saint invariably refuses. Judean saints, however, accept gratitude willingly – often with cash amounts recorded. The peculiarities of these works have regularly been examined on literary and theological grounds. The monasteries that produced these texts were utterly dominated by the environment of Christian Jerusalem. Although often commented upon, the unmined implications of this reality hold the key to understanding these hagiographies. It is only by examining these monasteries’ ties to – and embeddedness within – their peculiar context that we can perceive the mindset that produced such baffling texts.

    The Law Code of Simeon, Bishop of Rev-Ardashir

    The Law Code of Simeon of Rev-Ardashir, originally written in Persian, was translated into Syriac by a monk of Bēṭ-Qatrāyē. The Code's author, possibly to be identified with a rebellious metropolitan mentioned in the letters of Patriarch Īšoʿ-yahb III, aims to clarify theoretical scriptural law, and to address specific cases of inheritance law.
