The Syriac Bible stands at the crossroads of language, theology, and textual history. Emerging from the early centuries of Christianity, the Syriac versions of Scripture carried the Greek New Testament and the Hebrew Old Testament into a Semitic world closely related to the language of Jesus and the apostles. Yet the Syriac tradition is more than a translation—it is a witness to the transmission, revision, and preservation of the biblical text across centuries of ecclesiastical life.
In The Syriac Bible: Text, Transmission, and Textual Character, Edward D. Andrews offers a clear and disciplined introduction to the Old Syriac, the Peshitta, the Philoxenian and Harclean revisions, and the Palestinian Syriac tradition. Drawing on manuscript evidence, scribal habits, colophons, and versional methodology, this volume explains how Syriac witnesses function in New Testament textual criticism and how they corroborate, clarify, and sometimes challenge the Greek manuscript tradition.
Written for serious churchgoers, pastors, Bible teachers, and seminary students, this book avoids speculation and focuses on documentary evidence. Readers will gain a structured understanding of how the Syriac versions developed, how they were transmitted, and how they contribute to reconstructing the earliest attainable text of Scripture.
The Syriac tradition is not peripheral to textual criticism—it is essential.
