Syriac Churches Encountering Islam
Pro Oriente Studies in the Syriac Tradition
1 Series Editor Dietmar W. Winkler
Since its foundation in 1964 by the late Cardinal Franz König, Pro Oriente (Austria) has focused on the relationships between the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Christian Churches. In order to help the various churches of the Syriac tradition and to preserve their unique heritage which is of importance for the whole of Christianity, the Foundation edits the “Pro Oriente Studies in the Syriac Tradition”. A team of expert scholars from the various Syriac Churches–the “Pro Oriente Forum Syriacum”–advises and consults the Foundation to develop appropriate studies and helps to coordinate the research projects. This includes the scholarly exchange in academic conferences called “PRO ORIENTE Colloquia Syriaca” as well as individual studies, regional study groups in the Middle East, India and elsewhere, which are published in this series.
