Hardcover/Hardback. Zustand: Fine. Collectors copy unread like new The School of Nisibis was the main intellectual center of the Church of the East in the sixth and early seventh centuries C.E. and an institution of learning unprecedented in antiquity. Fear of God and the Beginning of Wisdom provides a history both of the School and of the scholastic culture of the Church of the East more generally in the late antique and early Islamic periods. Adam H. Becker examines the ideological and intellectual backgrounds of the school movement and reassesses the evidence for the supposed predecessor of the School of Nisibis the famed School of the Persians of Edessa. Furthermore he argues that the East-Syrian 'Nestorian' school movement is better understood as an integral and at times contested part of the broader spectrum of East-Syrian monasticism.

Jews and Christians in Mesopotamia developed similar institutions aimed at inculcating an identity in young males that defined them as beings endowed by their creator with the capacity to study. The East-Syrian schools are the most significant contemporary intellectual institutions immediately comparable to the Rabbinic academies even as they served as the conduit for the transmission of Greek philosophical texts and ideas to Muslims in the early 'Abbasid period. | Pages: 315.…
