Description

The Doctrine of Addai, The Apostle is a book written by George Phillips in 1876. The book is a translation of the Syriac text of the Doctrine of Addai, which is a Christian apocryphal work believed to have been written in the late 3rd or early 4th century. The Doctrine of Addai tells the story of Addai, one of the seventy disciples of Jesus, and his mission to Edessa (now Urfa, Turkey) to preach the gospel. The book also includes the liturgy used by the early Syriac Church and provides insights into the early Christian church in the Middle East. The Doctrine of Addai is an important text for scholars of early Christianity and provides a unique perspective on the spread of Christianity in the Middle East.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
