Buy this book together with "Blessed is He who has brought Adam from Sheol" Christ's Descent to the Dead in the Theology of Saint Ephrem the Syrian by Thomas Buchan
As the title of this work broadly indicates, it is the translation into English of St. Cyril of Alexandria’s commentary on the Gospel of Luke. This manuscript document had recently been acquired by Oxford University in Syriac. Payne Smith published an edition, but quickly realized that the work would largely go ignored if it were not translated into English. Cyril’s own interpretation of one of the Gospels focuses a crucial eye on a major source for understanding early Christianity. +Buchan’s work is an examination of the theological use of the doctrine of Christ's descent to the dead in the works of Saint Ephrem the Syrian (ca. 306-373 C.E.).  Ephrem's conception of Christ's descent to Sheol provides us with an important and distinctive vision of the significance of this salvific event.  Ephrem's use of Semitic and non-Western poetic forms and structures as a mode of theological discourse, coupled with his preference for imagery and symbolism rather than definition, resulted in a variety of vivid depictions of Christ's descent to Sheol.  The doctrine is shown to be an integral and multifaceted component of Ephrem's theology.Save $51.60

Simple and Bold: Ephrem’s Art of Symbolic Thought by Kees den Biesen
Ephrem the Syrian is known as one of the greatest Christian poets and as a unique author whose mode of thought is usually described as “symbolic.” In this work, Kees den Biesen explores the literary, intellectual, and theological mechanisms at work in Ephrem’s writings with the specific aim of identifying the exact nature of his “symbolic thought” and evaluating its contemporary relevance. Den Biesen elaborates a comprehensive approach that integrates a variety of methods into a genuinely theological methodology. He then proposes his own comprehensive understanding of the nature and merits of Ephrem’s symbolic thought.

A History of the Holy Eastern Church: The Patriarchate of Alexandria by John Neale
The first volume of an ambitious project to document the history of the early church, this is one of John Mason Neale’s crowning achievements. Meticulously researched, Neale’s treatment of the early church in Egypt is among the required reading of any student of oriental Christianity still today. Beginning with the traditions of St. Mark’s foundation of the Egyptian church, the developments of Christianity are traced up through the controversies associated with Nestorius and the Council of Chalcedon. In Neale’s characteristically readable style, the early stages of Eastern Christianity and its noteworthy figures are presented here with historical accuracy and authority. The origins of monasticism, the troubles and triumphs of St. Athanasius, the Arian heresy, and the ecumenical councils are all treated in this important study of the church in Egypt.

As the title of this work broadly indicates, it is the translation into English of St. Cyril of Alexandria’s commentary on the Gospel of Luke. This manuscript document had recently been acquired by Oxford University in Syriac. Payne Smith published an edition, but quickly realized that the work would largely go ignored if it were not translated into English. Few scholars of his day were as able to undertake this task as Payne Smith. Cyril represented the extremely influential Alexandrian school of early Christianity that gave the church much of the material that would lead eventually to the doctrine of the Trinity. Needless to comment, Cyril’s own interpretation of one of the Gospels focuses a crucial eye on a major source for understanding early Christianity. Scholars of the Christian Scriptures will find a useful cross-section of early interpretation here, and students of the major figures of the Alexandrian school will garner some of Cyril’s considerable insights into Scripture. This book retains its value to students of many specializations in Late Antiquity.

Robert Payne Smith (1819-1895) was a priest who had studied Classics at Pembroke College, Oxford University. He later became Regius Professor of Divinity at Oxford University. He was eventually appointed the Dean of Canterbury Cathedral. He was most noted for his Syriac lexicon entitled Thesaurus Syriacus.
