For the first time, this volume brings together biblical scholars and specialists in Syriac liturgy and patristic literature. It contains introductory essays on the Syriac versions in the liturgy, the Syriac Old Testament commentary tradition, and the challenges posed to exegetes by the different Syriac versions of the New Testament, written by the leading scholars in the field. Twenty-one further contributions discuss the patristic and liturgical evidence for the development of the text of the Peshitta and other Syriac versions, as well as the reception and use of those versions in the exegesis and liturgy of the Syriac Churches. These studies are fully updated versions of the papers read at the Third Peshitta Symposium, held in Leiden, 12-15 August 2001.

"... the proceedings of the Third Peshitta Symposium in 2001 (first two in 1985 and 1993) present a major contribution to the study of Syriac scriptures. [...] While there was certainly no attempt to be all-inclusive in this volume, the editor and participants come surprisingly close to providing a virtual manual of the reception history of the Peshitta." - Robert A. Kitchen, Knox-Metropolitan United Church Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada
