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. |
|  | Saint Ephraim's Quotations From The Gospel by
This book is an attempt to determine what text of the Gospels was used in the genuine works of S. Ephraim, and to investigate the bearing of his quotations upon the date of the Peshitta. He himself died about 373 AD; any version of the Bible used by him must be at least as old as the fourth century. |
|  | Exegesis in the Targum of Psalms: The Old, the New, and the Rewritten by Timothy Edwards
The Old, the New and the Rewritten illustrates how Targum Psalms creatively interprets selected psalms and how those interpretations relate to other Jewish and Christian traditions, including early translations of the psalms, rabbinic Midrashim, the New Testament and early Church Fathers. The study of these Psalms suggests viewing Targum Psalms as a creative partner in the world of biblical interpretation, as opposed to a compilation of already existing midrashic material. Edwards portrays the Targum as a link between the written and oral Torah that leads its readers on a path to tradition. |

Originally delivered as one of the Jowett Lectures for 1906, the contents of this booklet emerged during the first quest for the historical Jesus. Somewhat surprisingly, Burkitt discovered that historical criticism increased the historical credibility of the Synoptic Gospels in his estimation. This sixth lecture in the series turns to the Gospel of John. Burkitt begins by asking the enduring questions of authorship and historicity. The test case of the raising of Lazarus, when compared with Mark, demonstrates that John is not writing history. Since history is not the purpose of John’s Gospel, Burkitt suggests that it is the presentation of the Person of Christ that merited John’s inclusion in the canon. It is the fourth Gospel that truly emphasizes the humanity of Jesus. Bereft of the words and acts of Jesus, John, according to Burkitt, remains a viable Gospel by virtue of the very verisimilitude of the ideas of Jesus it presents. Compared with Philo, the Gnostics, and the Stoics, John shares a lot in common; however, the historical reality of the resurrection sets this Gospel apart.
Francis Crawford Burkitt (1864-1935) began his academic career as a student of mathematics. While at Cambridge University he moved to Divinity, becoming the Norrisian Professor. His interest in the text of the New Testament led him to study Syriac manuscripts and to publish widely in the field. He was a fellow of the British Academy.
