Who
The "Persian Sage", the earliest of the Syriac Fathers, writing in the Sasanian empire outside the Roman world. His twenty-three Demonstrations (337–345) treat faith, love, fasting, prayer, the "sons of the covenant" who lived in celibacy, and the Church's claim to the promises made to Israel, all argued from Scripture without the vocabulary of Nicaea. The chain quotes him as a witness to the Semitic Christianity that stayed closest to the Bible's own idiom.
