I was going to look up the requirements to study Christianity at Yale so I could suggest the importance of learning the Syriac language
But I found out they removed the Ancient Christianity program from Yale
2017 language requirements list Ancient Christianity
May 2025 does not list ancient christianity
My memory was they wanted you to learn
Coptic or Syriac
Greek and Latin
I can not find the language requirements
You mean could have been a cool program before they removed the program
Or do you mean it was cool that they removed the program because one of the faculty wrote a book that Judas was having a homosexual relationship with Jesus
I do not know they might still have it under a changed name like Theology or something else
Syriac-language manuscripts of the New Testament include some of the earliest and most important witnesses for textual criticism of the New Testament.[citation needed] Over 350 Syriac manuscripts of the New Testament have survived into the 21st century.[citation needed] The majority of them represent the Peshitta version.[citation needed] Only a very few manuscripts represent Old Syriac versions.[citation needed]
