{"product_id":"john-rufus-saint-john-vii-9781589832008","title":"John Rufus: The Lives of Peter the Iberian, Theodosius of Jerusalem, and the Monk Romanus","description":"This book makes available for the first time in English important works by the anti-Chalcedonian historian and biographer John Rufus on Peter the Iberian, Theodosius of Jerusalem, and Abba Romanus, three key figures of the Christian history of Palestine in the fifth and early sixth centuries C.E. The work offers a new critical edition of the Syriac text; the first-ever published English translation; a substantial introduction to Palestinian monasticism, the christological controversies of the time, and the life and writings of John Rufus; and ample annotations to a Syriac text whose Greek original is no longer available. By providing access to the Christian landscape (literally and metaphorically) in late antique and early Byzantine times, this volume offers a valuable counterbalance from a minority perspective to the biographical and historical writings of the Chalcedonian apologist Cyril of Scythopolis.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Saint John VII\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1589832000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781589832008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Society of Biblical Literature\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.49lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.03d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChronicle of Higher Education\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/19\/2008 pg. 22\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2008 pg. 20","brand":"Saint John VII","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43939834855679,"sku":"9781589832008","price":54.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_1d3273e1-74cf-49de-a0f1-9951897a30b8.jpg?v=1681443765","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/john-rufus-saint-john-vii-9781589832008","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
