|  | St. Cyril of Alexandria, A New Testament Exegete by Lois Farag
This study portrays Cyril of Alexandria as exegete and theologian through an examination of his Commentary on the Gospel John. It begins with an attempt to place Cyril and his commentary within their context. This work argues that Cyril wrote his Commentary on the Gospel of John early in his writing career, almost a decade before becoming bishop. Cyril’s commentary on the Johannine Gospel reveals his exegetical method and his strong Trinitarian theology. The commentary also focuses on the nature and work of the Holy Spirit: the indwelling of the Spirit is the beginning of the newness of life. |
|  | Nebuchadnezzar's Dream or The End of a Medieval Catholic Church by Roger Lenaers

|  | Tell Halaf by Baron Max von Oppenheim
The site of Tell Halaf was located by Baron von Oppenheim while on a mission to survey the land for the Baghdad Railway. The Baron returned some years later to excavate the mound, and this monograph is his considered statement of the site’s importance. Setting the stage with a narrative of the discovery of the tell, von Oppenheim proceeds to describe the structures, monumental statuary and smaller objects recovered from the dig. Lavishly illustrated with over 85 illustrations and maps, this volume contains a storehouse of knowledge on ancient Syria, at that time part of the cultural continuum of Mesopotamia. |

Jacob al-Bartilli, also known as Jacob bar Shakko, was an important Syrian Orthodox scholar of the thirteenth century (d. 1241). Hailing from the town of Bartilleh, near Mosul, he was the student of the East Syrian John bar Zo‘bi as well as the Muslim Kamal al-Din b. Yunus al-Mawsili before becoming the Bishop of Mar Mattai and Azerbaijan in 1232, taking Severos as his episcopal name. Among the works Jacob has left us is this theological treatise, entitled The Book of Treasures, which has here been translated in its entirety into Arabic. The text is divided into four parts, covering the Holy Trinity, the Incarnation of the Word, Divine Providence (which deals in part with the problem of evil) and finally the Creation of the World, the Resurrection and the Final Judgment. In each section, Jacob treats his subject in a thorough and systematic way and the text is of great interest to historians, theologians, and philosophers as well as laymen. The Syriac text remains unpublished and this Arabic translation has been executed by the Deacon Behnam Daniel al- Bartilli on the basis of three different manuscripts. An introduction by Bishop Gregorios Yohanna Ibrahim provides helpful information on the life and works of Jacob al- Bartilli. The Book of Treasures will prove essential reading for scholars seeking to understand the texture of Christian thought in the thirteenth-century Middle East. Table of Contents | |
