The Demonstrations of Aphrahat, the Persian Sage, Hardback Book

The Demonstrations of Aphrahat, the Persian Sage Hardback

Part of the Gorgias Eastern Christian Studies series

Hardback

Description

Among the earliest known sources from the Persian Church, the 4th-century Demonstrations of Aphrahat reflect a form of Christianity much closer to its Jewish roots than contemporary Western forms.

Their mix of ascetic instruction, polemic against Judaism, and theological reflection provides an invaluable glimpse into this otherwise poorly documented period.
