Oriental and Eastern Orthodox: questions

[Solly]

Thanks Peter.

As far as buying volumes are concerned, I am very restircted on finances, so have to resort to the internet. I have this very day found Cyril on John and Luke and Letters of Severus at Tertullian.
They also have Severus' history of the coptic popes. <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.tertullian.org/fathers/severus_hermopolis_hist_alex_patr_00_eintro.htm">http://www.tertullian.org/fathers/sever ... eintro.htm</a><!-- m -->


I see that Isaac the Syrian is highly recommended on all sides. But I am glad about what you say about EO material, I was going to ask actually.

Having mentioned it, I think I have seen the Matthew book in my local Christian bookshop, I must dash there after work!!

At this porecise time, i would love to get my hands on a hard copy of Irenaeus' Adv Haer. My particular interest is in biblical theology ie the structure, progression and development of biblical ideas, not systematics, and Ir is a classic writer in this, and someone outside my usual Reformed sources.

I'm glad about Scott, although sad that the website closed the thread down, I can't remember a more informative and enjoyable read. but, i have been there before, when the first forum i was on stamped on all discussion that was opposed to its favourite eschatological scenario.
