Description

Basics of Classical Syriac Video Lectures provides 23 easy-to-follow lessons on 3 DVDs, introducing one of the most important transitional languages of the New Testament.

Basics of Classical Syriac Video Lectures, together with the accompanying grammar and workbook Basics of Classical Syriac, is thus useful for students across a range of disciplines including New Testament studies, Old Testament studies, and church history.

Designed with the student in mind, each lecture is approximately 30 minutes in length. Useful for traditional students, students in distance and online courses, and independent learners alike, these lectures provide a full introduction to classical Syriac.
