Philoxenus of Mabbug was one of the most significant Syriac writers. Widely recognized for his advocacy of Miaphysitism, he was ordained bishop of Mabbug in 485. Philoxenus was an elegant, scholarly writer, who applied his skills to works of practical Christianity—most notably, his revised version of the Bible. His extant discourses are prime examples of his masterful style and devout beliefs. Included in The Discourses of Philoxenus are each of his surviving discourses, covering subjects such as faith, simplicity, the fear of God, poverty, and fornication. Also included is an in-depth study of Philoxenus’ life, creed, and works by Ernest A. Wallis Budge.
