Lehmann (emeritus, church history, U. of Aarhus, Denmark), who has published extensively in this field, presents a collection of 15 previously published or newly translated articles concerning the Syrian background to be discerned in the writings of the early Armenian church and especially in three bishops from Syria: Severian of Gabala, Theodoret of Cyrrhus, and Eusebius of Emesa. The articles offer in-depth examination of specific texts, addressing issues of language use, translation, punctuation, and abbreviation. Indexes of biblical texts, early sources, and modern writers are included. There is no subject index. Distributed in North America by The David Brown Book Co.
