The Third Lung: New Trajectories in Syriac StudiesEssays in Honor of Sebastian P. Brock
Series: Eastern Christian Studies, Volume: 33
Volume Editors: Brouria Bitton-Ashkelony, Miriam L. Hjälm, and Robert A. Kitchen
No one mentions Syriac, – a dialect of the Aramaic language Jesus spoke –, without referring to Sebastian P. Brock, the Oxford scholar and teacher who has written and taught about everything Syriac, even reorienting the field as The Third Lung of early Christianity (along with Greek and Latin). In 2018, Syriac scholars world-wide gathered in Sigtuna, Sweden, to celebrate with Sebastian his accomplishments and share new directions. Through essays showing what Syriac studies have attained, where they are going, as well as some arenas and connections previously not imagined, flavors of the fruits of laboring in the field are offered.
