|  | The Aramaic Influence in the Vernacular of Sadad by Fadel Mubaraka
Fadel Mubaraka has here given us a study of the linguistic survivals of Aramaic in the Arabic dialect of the town of Sadad, in Syria, home to a large Syrian Orthodox community. Arranged alphabetically in the style of a dictionary, Mubaraka lists hundreds of different Arabic words, defines them, and then discusses their Aramaic etymology. Although the focus is on the specific dialect of Sadad, Mubaraka’s work and the words he discusses are not necessarily only to be found in this one location. This work will therefore be of great value to all interested in Arabic dialectology, the Aramaic influence on colloquial Arabic, and in the cultural history of the Levant. |

The series aims to introduce and teach children about the Life of Christ.

For each event, saying, or story, the Gospel text describing it is given and the main points of the text are then explained. Each chapter also contains exercises and games aimed at encouraging Scripture memorization, as well as pictures which are suitable for coloring. Also included are excerpts from the Liturgy in Syriac and Arabic, also aimed at promoting memorization. This book is ideal for parents seeking Christian instructional materials for their children in Arabic and can also be a very useful introduction to Christian Arabic and the Syriac liturgy for students of Middle Eastern Christianity.
