|  | The Crusades: Conflict Between Christendom and Islam by Matti Moosa
This book sheds light on the first three Crusades (1097-1191) by introducing material from several medieval Syriac and Arabic sources and reconciling their accounts with those provided by Western sources. It presents the Crusades as an extension of the conflict between Christianity and Islam, which began with the Arabs’ first incursions into Christian territory in the seventh century and continued with their conquest of the Iberian peninsula. |
|  | Rhythms of Saint Ephrem the Syrian by John Morris
As a member of the Oxford Movement, Morris had a natural fascination with Eastern Christianity. Using his linguistic skills to translate select works of St. Ephrem into English, he chose those that would create an impact on his fellow Englishmen in the nineteenth century. These works are still treasured by western proponents of Eastern Christianity today. |

Commenting on an invaluable document that she personally found, Agnes Smith Lewis expresses her professional insights on this earliest extant version of the Syriac Gospels. This fourth century document, erased and written over, was discovered in the library of St. Catherine’s Monastery on Mount Sinai in 1892. After introducing the manuscript, Lewis boldly discusses the issues of variants in biblical manuscripts and their origins. She deftly applies these observations to the four canonical Gospels, specifically focusing on the role of the Sinai Palimpsest. Based on the variants she produces, Lewis makes suggestions for emendations in the Revised Version of the Bible, in wide usage at the time. Sensing that issues of faith have been broached, she concludes her study with a consideration of how science and the teaching of the Bible might work together. In this sense, as well as in others, the work of Lewis was clearly ahead of its time.
Agnes Smith Lewis (1843-1926) was a truly remarkable scholar. A woman well versed in ancient languages, she traveled intrepidly during the "age of men." Speaking Greek, Hebrew, and Arabic, she set off for the Sinai with her twin sister Margaret Dunlop Gibson. There she discovered the oldest Syriac manuscript of the New Testament. She made five further trips to the Sinai during her lifetime.
