Among the earliest known sources from the Persian Church, the 4th-century Demonstrations of Aphrahat reflect a form of Christianity much closer to its Jewish roots than contemporary Western forms. Their mix of ascetic instruction, polemic against Judaism, and theological reflection provides an invaluable glimpse into this otherwise poorly documented period. |

Since its foundation in 1964 by the late Cardinal Franz König, PRO ORIENTE (Austria) has focused on the relationships between the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Christian Churches. In order to help the various churches of the Syriac tradition and to preserve their unique heritage which is of importance for the whole of Christianity, the Foundation edits the “PRO ORIENTE Studies in the Syriac Tradition”. A team of expert scholars from the various Syriac Churches – the “PRO ORIENTE Forum Syriacum” – advises and consults the Foundation to develop appropriate studies and helps to coordinate the research projects.
The present volume includes the papers of the first PRO ORIENTE Colloquium Syriacum, which took place in Salzburg/Austria and concentrated on the Syriac Churches’ experiences with Islam throughout history: the times of the Four Caliphs, the Umayyad, Abbasid and Ottoman periods were discussed as well as the Indian experience and the present situation. The book includes contributions by Sidney Griffith, Mor Gregorios Y. Ibrahim, Mar Mikhael al-Jamil, Karam Risk, Mar Louis Sako, Mar Bawai Soro, Martin Tamcke, Herman Teule, Baby Varghese, Dietmar W. Winkler, and Joseph Yacoub. Table of Contents
