Description: This book presents a revised text of four less familiar Epistles which were excluded from the original Syriac New Testament, but have been included in most printed editions since the mid-16th Century. The editor has consulted a wide range of manuscript sources to provide an accurate and reliable text, which is accompanied by annotations and a reconstructed underlying Greek text. The Epistles of 2 Peter, 2 and 3 John, and Jude are compared and contrasted with a later Syriac translation, revealing their shared vocabulary and method of rendering unusual or ambiguous Greek text. These writings illustrate the evolution of the Syriac New Testament, and provide valuable evidence to inform our understanding of the early Christian tradition.
