Reviews

Epohrem's commentary on the Syriac text of Tatian's Gospel Harmony has a two-fold value for the modern scholar ... it marks a foundational stage of biblical interpretation in the Syriac Church .,.. its other importance is as a vital textual witness to the Syriac Diatessaron text .... Sr McCarthy has provided a very clear and helpful English translation of the MS. * Alison Salvesen, Journal of Theological Studies, Vol. 47, No. 1, Apr '96 *

The translation is serviceable and illuminating....the commentary offers a fascinating glimpse of the style. exegetical method, and theology of perhaps the most important person in the history of early Syriac Christianity, and thus is of interest to New Testament scholars, textual critics, church historians, and liturgical specialists. --Religious Studies Reveiw<br>
