"Burke’s volume represents a substantial and important contribution to the study of Daniel ibn al-Ḥaṭṭāb’s Principles of Religion and to West Syriac intellectual history more broadly. He persuasively demonstrates that the text aims not only to defend West Syriac Orthodoxy but also to shape the ethical conduct of its readers through a deeper understanding of religious principles. By combining apologetic and didactic functions, the work reflects both literary artistry and theological sophistication." Bishara Ebeid, Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, in: Journal of Near Eastern Studies, Volume 85, Number 1, April 2026
