'Exploring Finitude'
This book is the first exploration of an essential theme in the thought of the 7th c. East-Syriac solitary and mystic Isaac of Nineveh, that of creatural âeoeweaknessâe (mihiluta), a term which, in Isaac, alludes to the ontological condition of exposure to limitation and suffering that characterizes all humans. Based on the analysis of Isaacâe(tm)s edited and unedited writings in the original Syriac, the book sheds light on his understanding of creatural vulnerability and the phenomenology of the relationship with vulnerability that he outlines, with references to the authors who influenced him (Evagrius, the Syriac Pseudo-Macarian corpus, and others). The reader is thus introduced to Isaacâe(tm)s view of human finitude which, if experienced and âeoeinhabitedâe , can be taken on by the subject and disclose an experience of integrity. The solitary life, in this perspective, involves entering the mystery of suffering that marks every creatural life.
Quest for Love in Central Morocco
Following the 2011 wave of revolutions and protests in North Africa and the Middle East, new discussions of individual freedoms emerged in the Moroccan public sphere and human rights discourse. A segment of the public rallied aroundthe removal of an article in the penal code that punished sexual relationships outside of marriage.

The Heirs of Theodore
In The Heirs of Theodore Seth M. Stadel examines Aḥob of Qatar, a late 6th-century East Syriac biblical commentator, and his surviving Old Testament exegetical works. He further investigates what can be deduced of Aḥob’s influence on the later East Syriac exegetical tradition, and he details the originality of Aḥob’s exegesis, especially in comparison with earlier and contemporary Greek and Syriac sources. By presenting the first annotated edition, English translation, and study of Aḥob’s extant Old Testament exegetical works, Stadel is able to show that Aḥob represents a distinct voice within the East Syriac exegetical tradition.
The Prayers of Saint Isaac of Nineveh
Fairacres Publications 216 The scholarly investigations and translations of Prof. Sebastian Brock have been largely responsible for bringing Saint Isaac of Nineveh, also known as Isaac the Syrian, to public attention. Isaac was a seventh-century Syriac Christian bishop and monastic author from Beth Qatraye in the region of Qatar. He is best known for his writings on Christian asceticism. This selection of Isaac’s prayers, taken from the three collections of his Discourses, is elegantly translated by Dr Brock into accessible English, bringing the thought and prayer of one of the great Fathers of the Church to modern readers. Their simplicity and sincerity have a surprising beauty and relevance to our Christian journey.

Der Mensch Als Bild des Unergründlichen Gottes
Ausgangspunkt unserer Fragestellung ist die prinzipielle Unerkennbarkeit Gottes, die in der jüdisch-christlichen Tradition fest verankert ist (Ex 33,20; Jh 1,18). Ebenso fest verankert ist die anthropologische Aussage, dass der Mensch nach dem Ebenbild Gottes geschaffen wurde (Gen 1,26-27). Die hier versammelten Beiträge untersuchen in einer interdisziplinären Perspektive, wo und in welcher Weise ein Weg von der Theologie zur Anthropologie und zurück führt. Der Band gliedert sich in folgende Sektionen: Negative Theologie und Gottes Unerkennbarkeit Der Mensch als Bild Gottes Die Ambivalenz des Begehrens Tiefe und Abgrund Der Band baut Brücken zwischen Ost und West, zwischen Geschichte und Gegenwart: jüdische, pagan-religiöse, neutestamentliche, frühchristliche und mittelalterliche Schriften kommen ins Gespräch mit Positionen gegenwärtiger systematischer Theologie und Philosophie. Die Beiträge zeichnen Grundlinien einer Anthropologie, die den bodenlosen Abgrund in eine unausschöpfliche Tiefe verwandelt, die zum unaussprechlich Göttlichen hinführt.
