Thekla in Syriac
Syriac manuscripts preserve the earliest extant complete copies of the Acts of Thekla . However, since the publication of four copies in 1871, the Syriac version has been largely neglected in favour of the Coptic fragments and Greek manuscripts. Jacob A. Lollar presents the first full monograph devoted to the Syriac text of the Acts of Thekla and its reception. Employing the methods of material philology, he offers an innovative assessment of the…
The Meaning of Ephesians
The reception history of Ephesians presents many difficulties fundamentally related to the textual variant in Eph 1:1.
