Listen "George of the Arabs (c.660 - 724 AD) - A Syriac Intellectual in Early Islam"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode we will lean about the life and significant intellectual contributions of George of the Arabs, a Syriac Orthodox bishop who lived from the mid-7th to early 8th century. Serving Arab Christian tribes during the early Islamic period, George was a prolific scholar known for his translations and commentaries on Aristotle, his completion of Jacob of Edessa's Hexaemeron, and various theological and liturgical writings. His work bridged Greek philosophical thought with Syriac intellectual traditions during a time of major cultural and political change in the Near East. As a key figure in this era, George's legacy highlights the continued intellectual exchange across linguistic and religious boundaries. check our online courses: www.twinsbiblicalacademy.com
