The continuing developments in Islam since Wismar’s time make this book as relevant today as it was when it was published. The question explored here is what the approach of Islam is towards religious tolerance. To get at the answer, Wismar went back to the Quran and the practice of Muhammad, Abu Bakr, and Umar Ibn al-Khattab, the first two Caliphs, in order to determine what the primary sources taught on the issue. |
|  | The ‘Book of Heraclides of Damascus’: The Theological Apologia of Mar Nestorius by Paul Bedjan
Nestorius, deposed by the Council of Ephesus, spent his final years composing an apologia defending his theological beliefs, which became known as the ‘Book (or ‘Bazaar’) of Heraclides’. The Greek original is lost, but this Syriac translation survived in a single manuscript in the library of the Catholicos of the East, in his mountain retreat of Qodshanes. Bedjan gives an edition of this vital Syriac text.

|  | An Introduction to Syriac Studies by Sebastian Brock
This Introduction aims to provide basic guidance to important areas of Syriac studies. The relevance of Syriac studies to a variety of other fields is explored. A brief orientation to the history of Syriac literature is offered, and Syriac is set within the context of the other Aramaic dialects. A thorough discussion on important tools (Instrumenta Studiorum) is presented; topics include grammars, dictionaries, the Bible in Syriac, histories of Syriac literature, bibliographical aids and relevant series, periodicals, and encyclopedias. This Introduction should prove useful both for the student beginning Syriac studies and for scholars working in adjacent fields. |
| ![]() | Muhammad and Christ by Maulvi Muhammad Ali
This book is as timely today as when it was written. Maulvi Muhammad Ali, noted Quran scholar, presented this study of Christian positions about Jesus from a sympathetic Islamic perspective. The concepts of miracles, sinlessness, and the birth, call, death, and second coming of Jesus are all considered. |
| ![]() | Bar Ali (Isho): The Syriac-Arabic Glosses by Richard Gottheil
This edition of the Syriac-Arabic glosses of Isho Bar Ali is a publication difficult to locate. These glosses are located in the second part of Bar Ali’s lexicon, as the first part had been previously published. Bar Ali, a physician as well as a lexicographer, produced this noted Syriac-Arabic dictionary showing the meanings of Syriac words in Arabic. This historic step in the development of Syriac lexicography is analyzed here according to the glosses of the numerous manuscripts cited in the forward. |

| By Arthur Jeffery | | ISBN: | 978-1-59333-751-3 | | Format: | Hardback, Black, 6 x 9 in |
Noting that advances in the study of the Quran would not be possible without the deliberate study of Arabic vocabulary along the lines of the classical lexica of biblical languages, Jeffery began his work in this regard with the study of borrowed words in the Quran. Since the Arabic peoples of the Quranic period had contact with those of surrounding nations, it was only natural that the language would reflect this contact. Although a truncated version of a much longer work, this handbook has been repeatedly used by those who wish to familiarize themselves with the specific Arabic that derives from Arabia’s neighbors. Set up in a basic dictionary format, the book presents words in Arabic, with transliteration, and defines the words in great detail. As useful today as when it was first published, this volume will be welcomed by students of Arabic and especially those who are concerned with its relationship to foreign tongues.
Arthur Jeffery (1892-1959) taught at Columbia University, Union Theological Seminary, and at the School of Oriental Studies at the American University at Cairo. He is best known for his studies of the Quran.
