Extracted from Arthur Penrhyn Stanley’s Lectures on the History of the Eastern Church, this booklet represents lectures two through five, dealing directly with the Council of Nicea. After considering the sources for the Council, Stanley considers its Oriental character and its general interests as well as its role as a first example of a general council. Noting the Arian controversy that largely occasioned the meeting, Stanley considers the particulars of where it met, how delegates arrived, and the list of who these delegates were. Summarizing the preliminary discussions, he then explores in some detail the opening of the Council with the arrival of the Emperor and the concerns of the bishops. The theological disputes are considered before Stanley spends his efforts on the conclusion and outcome of the Council. Contrasting legendary and historical accounts, Stanley attempts to set the record straight regarding the decisions, individuals, and events of this historic gathering.

Arthur Penrhyn Stanley (1815-1881) was educated at Oxford and became a clergyman in the Church of England. He was a tutor then Regius Professor at Oxford and went on to become the Dean of Westminster. He wrote several books during his career.

The New Syriac Primer, 2nd Edition

A truly useful introduction to the Syriac language is a rare find. This practical initiation to the study of this ancient language of the Christian church speaks with clarity and authority. A fruitful integration of scholarly introduction and practical application, this primer is more than a simple grammar or syntactic introduction to the language. Writing in a style designed for beginners, Kiraz avoids technical language and strives for a reader-friendly inductive approach. Readings from actual Syriac texts allow the student to experience the language first hand and the basics of the grammar of the language are ably explained. The book comes with downloadable material so that readers may listen to all reading sentences and text passages in the book.

A Redaction History of the Pentateuch Targums

This volume combines Targum studies with Judaic studies. The author assigns different Targums each to a respective particular “Sitz im Leben”, stressing the close connection between Targum and Midrash literature. She challenges the assumption that all extant Targums were compiled for the Synagogue. Instead, she suggests that Targum Onqelos might have fulfilled a function in the context of the early beth din and demonstrates that Pseudo-Jonathan can be linked with the rhetorical practices which abounded in later amoraic, educational circles.
