Synopsis

Originally published in Armenian, this comprehensive introduction to Aramean and Syriac studies provides a gateway to the history, language, culture, and religion of the Aramean/Syriac people from the ancient times, through to the modern day. Special attention is given to such topics as translation and literary activity of the Syriacs, their missionary zeal and role as an intercultural medium, denominational fragmentation, and identity issues. The book is intended for the students of Oriental and Semitic studies but will be of value to anyone intersted in the history and cultural heritage of Christian Orient.
