Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an assemblage of ancient Syriac documents that provide unprecedented insights into the early history of Christianity in Edessa (modern Urfa, Turkey) and the surrounding regions of the East. These documents include letters attributed to King Abgar and Jesus Christ, the Teachings of Addai (Thaddeus) the Apostle, and accounts of the martyrdom of early Edessan bishops. The Teachings of Addai sheds light on the beliefs and practices of Edessa's early Christian community, particularly their faith in the power of God manifested through Christ. These writings offer a glimpse into the beliefs and practices of a distinct form of Christianity that flourished in Edessa before the Council of Nicaea. These documents are not only historically significant but also thematically rich. They explore themes of faith, conversion, and the power of God's word. They grapple with questions of belief and doubt, the nature of Jesus Christ, and the meaning of salvation. This book offers a unique opportunity to explore the origins of Christianity in the East, providing valuable insights into the development of Christian thought and practice in the centuries following the life of Jesus.
