Book Description
For a long time the Diatessaron has drawn the interest of modern scholars. Some of the problems related to the Syriac Harmony of the Gospels have been solved. Others still remain in dispute. The Syriac Commentary on the Diatessaron, attributed to Ephraem (306-373), is one of the most important witnesses to the wording of the Harmony. Unfortunately, most of the surviving Syriac folios of the text have been discovered only recently. Consequently, no detailed study on the Commentary has been undertaken yet. It is the aim of this study to present this scholarly demand. This Oxford dissertation deals with the questions of the difficult process of the Commentary's transmission and analyses both the Trinitarian and Christological understanding of its author. By way of a comparison with the "genuine" Ephraem, this study argues that the Commentary in its present form is a compilation from the hand of one of his disciples. However, it serves as an important source on the theological discussions in the Edessa of the late fourth and early fifth centuries.
The Sermon on the Mount in St. Ephrem's Commentary on the Diatessaron

Pages : 312
Book Description
This book is concerned with a gospel commentary usually attributed to Ephrem, the great theologian-poet of fourth century Syriac-speaking Christianity. The gospels were known to Ephrem and to his church, primarily, in the form of Tatian's harmony of the gospels or Diatessaron. The focus of this book is that section of Ephrem's Commentary on the Diatessaron which treats the Sermon on the Mount. It also studies Ephrem's portrayal of four gospel characters within his Diatessaron Commentary, and explores the connections between his understanding of the Lord's Sermon teaching and his treatment of these characters. The establishing of such connections highlights the centrality of a number of themes in Ephrem's commentary on the Sermon. The profile of these Sermon themes and of the four gospel characters within Ephrem's writings as a whole is examined.
