Book excerpt: "The striking contrasts in Oriental and Western types of thought and expression have often proved grave obstacles to our understanding of the Hebrew and Christian scriptures. It is to overcome some of these difficulties and to illumine from a new angle the life and teachings of Jesus that Mr. Rihbany has written 'The Syrian Christ.' The author's birth and early training, in Oriental surroundings little changed since the days of Jesus, and his thorough schooling for the last twenty-five years in American life and progressive Western thought specially qualify him to interpret the biblical atmosphere and customs in terms that appeal to the American mind. We must not forget that Jesus Christ was a Syrian peasant and that his message comes to us in an Oriental garb....Mr. Rihbany's delightful discourses on the customs of the common folk of Syria, drawn in part from his own early experience, and illumined by his wealth of historical and literary knowledge, will give the reader a sympathetic understanding of biblical incidents and teachings. The author does not write a story of Jesus' life, but rather makes clearer many of its episodes and much of the Master's teachings." -The Independent "Fresh light on the life and teachings of Christ, for Jesus, as a prophet and seer, belongs to all races and all ages, but in His modes of thought and life, he was distinctly a Syrian.. Mr. Rihbany...is eminently fitted by temperament, antecedents, and experience to interpret the Christ of the Gospel in the terms of his native country." -Friends' Intelligencer "Mr. Rihbany interprets the famous passages regarding non-resistance to evil, loving one's enemies, turning the other cheek, as hyperbolic Oriental sayings tending to decrease brutal conduct and to make tranquil living a disposition among men." -Current Opinion "This interesting book, written by Mr. Abraham Mitrie Rihbany, a Syrian by birth and, as he says in his preface, an American by choice, will prove most helpful to unlearned and untraveled readers." -The Contemporary Review "Here in this book one breathes the atmosphere of the land of Jesus, and Jesus talks to us as he did to his first disciples." -The Homiletic Review "In its insight into Syrian life the book is delightful; in its interpretation of the teachings of Jesus it is inspiring." -New York Herald "Not merely a volume for the minister's study; it is for the library of every student of the Bible." -New York Evening Post "When a Syrian scholar discusses the Syrian Christ and seeks to interpret Him in the light of a familiar knowledge of His land and people, the consequences cannot fail to be edifying, especially when the motives are constructive and the purpose is to throw light." -The Living Church "Many interesting chapters on speaking in parables, swearing, imprecations, family feasts, the treatment of guests, the market place, the housetop, the vineyard and the shepherds. The writer came to this country a penniless immigrant, and lost his faith in Protestant surroundings. He is a champion of 'undogmatic' Christianity, and gives forth some undigested statements about the simple faith of Christ being changed into an authoritative creed by ambitious ecclesiastics and politicians." -Catholic World

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'So much of the reporting of the Middle East at the moment reflects war and human misery; it's inspiring to find, in this thoughtful and engaging book, a message of hope from what Fr Nadim calls "that region of the world that God chose to live in when he took human form"' Edward Stourton 'The ultimate question of this book is, why does it matter to me, a human being, to know the culture of God, and what impact should that have on my own life and existence? The culture of God is the antithesis of the culture of the Pharisees - yet again and again we fall into the trap of condemning or excluding others. Understanding the culture of God helps us to uncover God's image within us, a shining jewel buried deep under the dirt of our selfishness and greed, and helps us to shine as God intends us to, re-forming our relationships with God and with each other in our amazingly diverse world.' It is as we read the Bible, argues Father Nadim Nassar, that we are invited to discover what 'the culture of God' - the community of love that makes up the Trinity - looks like, and how it might transform our lives and our faith. But in order to do so we need to understand the culture of the Bible itself, as well as the particular culture that forms our own worldview. Ultimately it is Jesus who has direct access to the culture of God; and so we also need to understand Jesus within his first-century Levantine context. Father Nadim Nassar is the Church of England's only Syrian priest and an outspoken advocate for western Christians to recognise the Middle-Eastern roots of their faith. The fresh and provocative reflections in The Culture of God, his first book, are informed by his experience of growing up in Syria and living through the conflicts in the region, especially the civil wars in Lebanon and Syria. Taking us on a journey through the mystery of the incarnation, to Jesus' role as storyteller - Al-Hakawati - his relationship with a disparate cast of people as narrated by the gospels, and finally his death and resurrection, Father Nadim unfolds for us the culture of God and what it can mean for a world that so desperately needs both freedom and a way to embrace diversity. 'Fr Nadim's personal experience of the painful effects of war and conflict in the Middle East is an insightful lens into the brokenness of humanity that leads to the ongoing violation of the God-given sanctity and dignity of life. At the same time, the paradox of the Crucifixion and Christianity is presented as a key to understanding the restoration of that same humanity, and the possibility of reconciliation with God and one another if the life and teachings of Christ are truly lived.' Archbishop Angaelos, Coptic Orthodox Archbishop of London

These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside The Syrian Christ: Look inside the book: The need of the Western readers of the Bible is, in my judgment, to enter sympathetically and intelligently into the atmosphere in which the books of the Scriptures first took form: to have real intellectual, as well as spiritual, fellowship with those Orientals who sought {vii} earnestly in their own way to give tangible form to those great spiritual truths which have been, and ever shall be, humanity's most precious heritage. ...Matthew's Gospel, the twentieth verse, it is said of Joseph, 'But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. ...Either that a sum of {17} money be 'given to the saint' upon the advent of the child, or that the child be carried to the same sanctuary on another zeara with gifts, and so forth, or that his hair will not be cut until he is seven years old, and then cut for the first time before the image of his patron saint at the shrine, or some other act of pious fulfillment.

Download or read book Syrian Christians under Islam, the First Thousand Years written by David Thomas and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-12-28 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains papers from the Third Woodbrooke-Mingana Symposium on Arab Christianity and Islam (September 1998) on the theme of "Arab Christianity in Bilâd al-Shâm (Greater Syria) in the pre-Ottoman Period". It presents aspects of Syrian Christian life and thought during the first millennium of Islamic rule. Among the eight contributing scholars are Sidney Griffith on ninth-century Christological controversies, Samir K. Samir on the Prophet Muhammed seen through Arab Christian eyes, Lawrence Conrad on the physician Ibn Butlân, and Lucy-Anne Hunt on Muslim influence on Christian book illustrations. There is also a foreword by the Syrian Orthodox Archbishop of Aleppo. The picture that emerges is of community life developing in its own way and finding a distinctive character, as Christians responded to the social and intellectual influences of Islam.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tragic war in Syria along with the plight of the Christians there remains among the most misunderstood situations in the world today. Syria Crucified seeks to contribute to better understanding in the West by giving a voice to individual Syrian Christians living in exile from their homeland. These men and women have undergone horrific trauma and loss without losing their faith in God or the ability to forgive their persecutors. Their first-person accounts, framed by the authors' narration for historical, cultural, and geopolitical context, are both edifying and inspiring.
