Syriac Studies

Syriac Studies is an academic field focused on the history, language, literature, and culture of Syriac-speaking communities, primarily Christian populations from the Middle East. It involves analyzing ancient texts, religious writings, and historical documents written in the Syriac language, a form of Aramaic. Scholars explore these works to understand early Christian theology, regional history, and the development of Middle Eastern Christianity. The field helps preserve a rich cultural heritage, shedding light on the theological, linguistic, and historical contributions of Syriac-speaking peoples to world history.
