Dear Friends,
I was interested in some feed back you might have on
the value of the Peshitta. I understand that it is a
late 4th century document and that there are other Old
Syriac versions that antedate the Peshitta. I was
wondering how the Peshitta fares in relation to the 4th
century Greek MSS, Vaticanus and Sinaiticus. The Greek
texts are believed to be superior. The Peshitta also
does not include certain books found in the NT such as
2 Peter, 2&3 John, Jude and Revelation. I understand
that this was due to the Syrian Church's rejection of
these books as canonical? Do the Old Syriac versions
have them? I would appreciate your comments on some of
these points. Best regards,
