|  | 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. |

This careful study by Gavin examines the homilies concerning the Jews of the early Syriac writer known as Aphraates (4th century). Aphraates was Bishop of the Convent of Mar Matthew in Mosul. Gavin attempts to discern the appropriate background to these sermons and the impact that Aphraates’ opponents had on developing his own thought and method of argumentation. In his preliminary remarks, Gavin sets the context by examining the general character of the homilies and the constituency of the early church Aphraates knew. This study will be of interest to scholars seeking information on Syriac Christianity as well as on the early church in general.
Frank Stanton Burns Gavin (1890-1938) produced several books in his brief life. His most noted work is The Jewish Antecedents of the Christian Sacraments (1928). Dr. Gavin was a priest in the Episcopal Church and had an extensive education that included the University of Cincinnati, Hebrew Union College, Columbia University, the General Seminary, and Harvard University. He taught New Testament at Nashotah House seminary in Wisconsin and later at the General Seminary in New York.
