The Slow Disappearance of the Syriacs from Turkey and of the Grounds of the Mor Gabriel MonasteryPieter Omtzigt, Markus K. Tozman, Andrea Tyndall "This is an astonishing book which reveals the importance, relevance and the wider significance of Mor Gabriel Monastery not only for the Syriac Orthodox Church of Antioch but also for the Christian Church worldwide. In it, the reader will find an invaluable tool to understand the situation and plight of the Syriac Christians, one of the most important and interesting minorities in the region of the Middle East out of which the Bible & Christianity sprang." -- His Holiness Ignatius Zakka Ist Iwas, Patriarch of the Syriac-Orthodox Church of Antioch and all the East (Series: Geschichte - Vol. 111) |
