Resumen de Isaac of Nineveh's Ascetical Eschatology by Jason Scully (review)
Every aspect of Isaac's thought is rooted in his eschatology" (xxiv). [...]according to Scully, the way to comprehend Isaac's spiritual message is through the study of his cosmological and eschatological ideas. Chapter Two (27–47) deals with Isaac's dependence on Theodore of Mopsuestia in his teaching on human mortality, which lays the foundation for eschatology. Besides the authentic works of Theodore, the author also adds to his analysis the works of Narsai as a faithful follower of the Theodorean tradition. [...]any research on the Greek sources must be based not on the original Greek text, but rather on the Syriac versions thereof.
