There is a rich history of poetry and metrical prose within the Syriac language. In light of this poetic tradition, Curian Kaniamparampil presents a metrical, poetic Syriac version of the Gospel of Matthew. Relying on the depth of his knowledge of Syriac vocabulary and syntax, Kaniamparampil renders the Gospel of Matthew into a beautifully poetic work that still manages to retain the details of the narrative.
