SYRIAC BIBLICAL INTERPRETATION

Abstract

The specific contributions of the Syriac Christian approach to the
Word of God in the Asian context need to be highlighted as a
complementary factor and as an elucidation of some rediscovered
approaches to the biblical exegesis and hermeneutical reflections.
The Syriac approach to the scriptures is a mode of imbibing the
salvific inspiration and the message of Christian scriptures from the
same cultural milieu and categories from where the Christian
scriptures themselves took shape. Syriac Christianity is rooted in as
well as issued out of the Semitic Judeo-Christian foundational
spheres of Christian religiosity
