Syriac Orthodox Theology

Eastern Christian Theology has developed within different communities. In the Syriac Orthodox community it developed in close proximity with Judaism, and Syriac was one of first seven languages the Bible was translated into. As an institution it developed as part of the church of the Byzantine Empire. This course will introduce one of the ancient Christian traditions yet unknown for many.
