Heirs Of Theodore eBook

In The Heirs of Theodore Seth M. Stadel examines Ahob of Qatar, a late 6th-century East Syriac biblical commentator, and his surviving Old Testament exegetical works. He further investigates what can be deduced of Ahob's influence on the later East Syriac exegetical tradition, and he details the originality of Ahob's exegesis, especially in comparison with earlier and contemporary Greek and Syriac sources. By presenting the first annotated edition, English translation, and study of Ahob's extant Old Testament exegetical works, Stadel is able to show that Ahob represents a distinct voice within the East Syriac exegetical tradition.
