When in exile in Egypt, St Severus of Antioch influenced Coptic hymnology.

The major difference is that the greek new testament tect is clearly a translation of the original text written in aramaic syriac

"Syriac" is a Greek misnomer for the dialect of Aramaic in Syria. People living there never called it that. They spoke Aramaic. Let's not forget the Greek texts that came from Aramaic were rejected because of the defects in them. Josephus, the Jewish historian even said the Greek language was frowned upon and Aramaic speaking people could hardly learn it when tried. Scholars in the West tend to blur the lines of culture, language and history. If people want to understand Scriptures they should look into Aramaic and Hebrew. 💫💜💫 Shlama lookh (Peace be to you)

Dr Harvey is incorrect for saying that for the 1st seven centuries Syrian Christians were part of early Byzantine Christianity. Syrian Christians or (Oriental Christianity) were distinguished from other Christians because they only accepted the 1st three Councils after Jerusalem (i.e. Nicaea, Constantinople and Ephesus).

I thought the council of Chalcedon in 451 was the demarcation of when Syriac Christians, along with other Miaphysites were considered separate from Orthodoxy?

Such a Blessed Woman. Here's the Proof that Christianity is Real. Thank you for posting this. I attended a Maronite Catholic Church for many years here in south Florida. And felt a real living faith amongst the congregation and the Priests

this is where the platonic dialogue comes from!

Christianity puts forth this beautiful idea that love holds the world together- that love is the reason why I see a chair instead of bits of wood or molecules of carbon, love is how I hold my interests together, and love is how our communities together. Thus, the poetry of the Syriac tradition seems the fullest extent of Christianity- a conscious acceptance of love in theology. I hope one day I can hear the hymns of St. Ephrem chanted aloud.

I have followed the work of Susan Ashbrook Harvey for many years. What pleasure to see this presentation. Thank you.

Wonderful information! Thank you for this presentation!

Great
