"Blessed is He who has brought Adam from Sheol" Christ's Descent to the Dead in the Theology of Saint Ephrem the Syrian by Thomas Buchan
Buchan’s work is an examination of the theological use of the doctrine of Christ's descent to the dead in the works of Saint Ephrem the Syrian (ca. 306-373 C.E.). Ephrem's conception of Christ's descent to Sheol provides us with an important and distinctive vision of the significance of this salvific event. Ephrem's use of Semitic and non-Western poetic forms and structures as a mode of theological discourse, coupled with his preference for imagery and symbolism rather than definition, resulted in a variety of vivid depictions of Christ's descent to Sheol. The doctrine is shown to be an integral and multifaceted component of Ephrem's theology.

A massive work of erudition, Smith’s Thesaurus Syriacus has stood the test of time. Rendering Syriac into the scholarly Latin of the day, this dictionary made Syriac available to scholars of the western world. Still utilized for its thoroughness and authority, this lexicon, including the posthumously prepared supplement in English, is now being made available in a three-volume edition that includes the essential 1927 supplement.

Robert Payne Smith (1819-1895) was Regius Professor of Divinity at Oxford University. He later went on to become the Dean of Canterbury Cathedral. The Thesaurus Syriacus was his most noted publication.
