This volume contains the first part (Genesis – 1 Samuel) of the original issue of the complete Old Testament published by the American Protestant Mission to the Assyrians in Urmia, Iran in 1852.

This volume represents the first time that the complete Old Testament was published in Assyrian and it represents one of only three known instances where the American Mission published any text in Syriac.

Nestorius: The Bazzar of Heracleides
Nestorius became Patriarch of Constantinople in 428. His theological views on the union of the human and divine natures in the one person of Jesus Christ led him to denounce the use of the term “Mother of God” as well as other language which tended to ascribe divine attributes to the humanity and human attributes to the divinity of Christ such as “God died” or “God was born”. Nestorius was opposed by Cyril of Alexandria, who was largely motivated by rivalry with Constantinople. Through Cyril’s political machinations, Nestorius was condemned unheard at the Council of Ephesus in 431. In exile he wrote a defense of his beliefs under a pseudonym before he died. The original Greek of the “Book of Heraclides” was lost but a Syriac translation survived in a single manuscript. Although the Assyrian Church of the East had no personal contacts with Nestorius it refuses to accept his condemnation and considers him an orthodox theologian. This volume contains an English translation of the Syriac text.

Mar Isaacus Ninivita: De Perfectione Religiosa
Mar Isaac of Nineveh, a native of Beth Qatraye, was born in the early part of the 7th century. He was ordained bishop of Nineveh, but resigned the office after only five months to pursue the life of a solitary monk. Among the many writers of the Assyrian Church of the East on the spiritual life, Mar Isaac is considered the greatest. His writings have enjoyed a wide circulation among Christians in the east and west through translations into eighteen classical and modern languages. The fact that Mar Isaac is venerated as a saint in the Orthodox and Roman Catholic churches is a remarkable testimony to the profound influence his writings have had on the spiritual life of many Christians. This volume contains an edition of the Syriac texts by Fr. Paul Bedjan which was used in the translation into English by A. J. Wensinck.

The fact that Mar Isaac is venerated as a saint in the Orthodox and Roman Catholic churches is a remarkable testimony to the profound influence his writings have had on the spiritual life of many Christians. This also testifies to the truth that spirituality often provides a means to transcend the narrow confines of sectarian differences.
