Buy this book together with Bride of Light by Sebastian Brock
This commentary on Exodus by the highly influential fourth century Syriac writer St. Ephrem, is typical of his exegetical approach, particularly the emphasis on women in the narrative and the similarities to contemporary Jewish interpretations.+Syriac is particularly rich in poetry on Mary. Not only is some of this of great tenderness and beauty, but much is also highly imaginative.   The present selection of translations includes lyric poems (several by St Ephrem), five lively dialogues, and a  longer narrative poem on Mary and Joseph.Save $10.95

The New Syriac Primer by George Kiraz
A truly useful introduction to the Syriac language is a rare find. This practical initiation to the study of the ancient language of the Christian church speaks with clarity and authority. A fruitful integration of scholarly introduction and practical application, this primer is more than a simple grammar or syntactic introduction to the language. Written in a style designed for beginners, Kiraz avoids technical language and strives for a reader-friendly inductive approach. Readings from actual Syriac texts allow the student to experience the language first hand and the basics of the grammar of the language are ably explained. The book comes with downloadable material so that readers may listen to all reading sentences and text passages in the book.

Known mainly for his dazzling theological poetry, the Syriac writer St Ephrem also produced commentaries on the Diatessaron (Gospel Harmony) and the books of Genesis and Exodus that were of great influence on the work of later generations of Syriac writers. That on Exodus is easily the shortest (it may represent lecture notes taken down by a disciple of Ephrem), but it shares two prominent features with the much longer Genesis commentary, namely a strong interest in the female characters of the biblical narrative, and many parallels with Jewish biblical interpretation of the same period. Probably dating from the third quarter of the fourth century and written in Edessa (modern Urfa in south east Turkey), this represents the earliest surviving Syriac commentary on Exodus. This modern English translation of the work is a revised edition of an earlier publication, including notes on the rendering, biblical references, and Jewish parallels to Ephrem's interpretation.
