Buy this book together with Light on the Four Gospels from the Sinai Palimpsest by Agnes Lewis
Agnes Lewis was the discoverer of the Sinaitic Palimpsest, the oldest Syriac manuscript of the New Testament.  Here she publishes her English translation of that text to make it available to Bible students who do not read Syriac.  Included are the four canonical Gospels and a list of omitted words and phrases as well as interpolations into the Textus Receptus.+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.  In addition to discussing New Testament variants Lewis also addresses the issue of how science and biblical teaching might coexist.Save $33.75

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.

The History of Tur Abdin by Aphram I Barsoum
Until now this first insider-history of Tur Abdin has been unavailable to non-Semitic readers. Written by Patriarch Ignatius Aphram Barsoum in Syriac, this history of the mountainous region in southeastern Asia Minor called Tur Abdin has not found wide readership because of language barriers. This new edition produced by Gorgias Press is a trilingual edition: the original Syriac, and Arabic and English translations.

Commentary of Theodore of Mopsuestia on the Lord's Prayer and on the Sacraments of Baptism and the Eucharist by Alphonse Mingana
The Commentary of Theodore of Mopsuestia on the Lord’s Prayer and on the Sacraments of Baptism and the Eucharist is an important witness to the development of Christianity. Theodore (c. 350-428) was clearly the most important biblical scholar of his age. In a series of six homilies Theodore here addresses the Lord’s Prayer as a springboard to discuss what actually constitutes prayer. His homilies on the sacraments are essential witnesses to the historical development of these sacraments. His work here is basically a commentary on the text of the liturgy, an awareness of the centrality of the sacraments to the life of the church in his age.

Following her discovery of the Sinaitic Palimpsest, the oldest Syriac manuscript of the New Testament, Agnes Lewis presented its translation to the public. Introducing the text by describing how the manuscript was discovered and transcribed and its relationship to other Syriac manuscripts, she gives an account of the physical description of the palimpsest and its main features. The main body of the book is an English translation of the four Gospels. To this translation are appended two tables, one listing the words and phrases of the Textus Receptus which are omitted in the Syriac version, and one listing interpolations into the received text. An historic step on the way toward understanding the textual history of the Syriac New Testament, this book should be of interest to all New Testament scholars.

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." In addition to discovering the Sinaitic Palimpsest, she also translated it for the general public.
