Symbols of Church and Kingdom: A Study in Early Syriac Tradition
'A superb work' Wayne A Meeks, Yale University'After more than a quarter of a century Robert Murray's Symbols of Church and Kingdom still remains by far the best introduction to early Syriac Christianity. It has justly become something of a classic.' Sebastian Brock, University of Oxford'This scrupulous book with an unfailing historical sense is alive to the language of the Late Romans, laying bare with sympathy the way in which Syriac-speaking Christians spoke of the Church.'
