Jews and Judaism in the Canonical Tradition of Syriac Churches
P. 267–290.
In this article I offer an overview of the written evidence on Jews and Judaism that can be found in canonical sources of Syriac churches, for the most part of West and East Syrian traditions. By no means an exhaustive inventory of all references to Jews in this diverse corpus of texts, this preliminary survey aims at introducing scholars of Jewish-Christian relations in the pre-modern Middle East into the variety of contexts, imagined as well as real, in which Jews can appear in this subset of Syriac Christian literature.
