Omschrijving
The East Syriac mystic Joseph Hazzaya (8th century AD) offers in his treatise On Providence, edited for the first time by Nestor Kavvadas, an apology of universal salvation (apokatastasis) and an answer, articulated through an Elijah-Apocalypse, to the Islamisation of Mesopotamia.
'In making this significant work by Joseph available in an attractive format, with facing text and reliable translation, preceded by an illuminating introduction, Kavvadas has performed an excellent service.' Sebastian Brock, Oxford, Journal of Ecclesiastical History 69 (2018)
Nestor Kavvadas, Dr. phil. (2007), University of Tübingen, is research fellow in Ancient Church History at that university. He has published monographs, translations and articles on Late Antiquity and Byzantium, including Isaak von Ninive und seine Kephalaia Gnostika (Brill, 2015).
