RT Book T1 Covenant life, law and ministry according to Aphrahat T2 Kanonika A1 Neṭuṅṅāṭṭȧ, Jōrjj Ji LA English PP Rome PB Edizioni Orientalia Christiana YR 2018 UL https://ixtheo.de/Record/1637615469 AB In the present work the author explores the theology of Aphrahat, the first Father of the Syriac Church, on the covenant as basic to a proper understanding of the Church but in particular of the Covenanters, a community of celibate ascetics, of which Aphrahat was a bishop member. His understanding of pastoral ministry is studied, especially the role of Peter from the standpoint of typology, which can advance the ecumenical understanding of primacy in the Church.
