The Diatessaron has long intrigued scholars of New Testament and early Christianity because of its unique place in Gospel translations, its role in the spread of Christianity within the Syriac speaking world, and the fact that the Syriac text of this very influential text no longer survives in any known extant manuscript. The text does survive in later translations, most notably in Arabic, but the best source for the Syriac text is the Commentary on the Diatessaron written by Ephrem the Syrian in the fourth century. In the present work, Samuel Hemphill uses these two sources to produce an English translation of the text of the Diatessaron to the extent that it can be reconstructed. Hemphill includes a helpful introduction to Tatian and Diatessaron studies and also provides several appendices with more information on various topics pertaining to Diatessaron studies.

As Below, So Above

Apocalypticism, Gnosticism and the Scribes of Qumran and Nag Hammadi

By Glen J. Fairen

Series: Perspectives on Philosophy and Religious Thought 13

ISBN: 978-1-59333-082-8

Questioning the scholarly assumptions regarding the “heretical” Nag Hammadi Library and the “apocalyptic” Dead Sea Scrolls, Fairen argues that they were not diametrically opposed, but represent a scribal reconfiguration of an Enochic worldview as a critique of foreign rule.

The Nestorian Monument of Hsî-an Fû in Shen-Hsî, China

By James Legge

Series: Analecta Gorgiana 70

ISBN: 978-1-59333-886-2

The “Nestorian Monument” or “Nestorian Stele” is a fascinating attestation of the work of Syriac-speaking missionaries in sixth-century China. Commemorating the diffusion of Christianity in China from 635-781, the inscription was erected in the latter year as a public monument. The inscription in Chinese, supplemented with some Syriac, provides a brief outline of Christian doctrine and provides an account of how Christianity came to China. This book offers an English translation of the monument along with the original language text.
