|  | Malphono w-Rabo d-Malphone by George Kiraz
A substantial Festschrift for Sebastian P. Brock, this volume contains 34 essays from a variety of scholars across the field of Syriac studies. Most of the essays are in English, with a few contributions in French and German. No scholar in this discipline will want to miss this important collection that represents the latest in serious exploration of the world of Eastern Christianity in Late Antiquity. |
|  | A Commentary upon the Gospel According to S. Luke by S. Cyril, Patriarch of Alexandria by Robert Payne Smith
As the title of this work broadly indicates, it is the translation into English of St. Cyril of Alexandria’s commentary on the Gospel of Luke. This manuscript document had recently been acquired by Oxford University in Syriac. Payne Smith published an edition, but quickly realized that the work would largely go ignored if it were not translated into English. Cyril’s own interpretation of one of the Gospels focuses a crucial eye on a major source for understanding early Christianity. |
|  | A History of Christian Missions in China by Kenneth Latourette
Starting with the religious background of China, Latourette probes why Christianity appealed to the Chinese and then launches into a detailed history of its development. He considers how Christianity began before and coped under the Mongol Dynasty and then the incursion of the Roman Catholic Missions. Briefly considering the Russian Orthodox interest in Chinese missions, he moves on to what is clearly his main concern in the Protestant influx in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Considering the main events of China’s history in relation to the European powers of the day, he considers how Christianity fared into the early nineteenth century. |

Nippur in modern-day Iraq was one of the most ancient and sacred of the cities of ancient Sumeria, though it never enjoyed the political prominence of Uruk and Ur. Home to the temple of Enlil, it was a spiritual center for the other settlements of Sumeria. The site report represents the first in-depth excavation of the site in an effort that went on for many seasons afterward and focuses on the ziggurat site, the Nippur arch, court of the columns, and temple district. The detailed excavation report includes photographs, diagrams, and topographical map. This site is key to the understanding of the Sumerian culture, which in turn is key to understanding both Biblical history and the Greek literature that preserves elements of Sumerian.
