Debunking another Trimmism

[Paul Younan]

Shlama Akhi Dave,

Ever checked the Harklean version out before Paul? I'm just curious if this is the same thing.

Thomas of Harkel was a staunch Monophysite. He hated the Church of the East and was, like Rabbula, its sworn enemy.

He himself revised the Philoxenian version. Philoxenus of Mabbug ,his predecessor said himself, verbatim, that he sought to make a translation from the Greek because he didn't agree with certain readings in the Peshitta because those readings lent too much weight to his theological opponents (the CoE.)

Ultimately, his own Monophysite church outright rejected his translation and reverted back to the Peshitta - although they kept his translation of the 5 "disputed" Greek books (Rev., etc.) and added them to the end of the Peshitta canon.
