What is this work about? Why did Dionysius write it? How is this work viewed in the OO Communion? Did he believe the Armenians were un-Orthodox in faith? 

EDIT: Thank you Orthonorm

We cannot legislate morality by passing laws controlling firearms. The only evil we can combat lies within our hearts.

We need stronger laws to protect the moral foundation of society against the evil of gay marriage.

Herre you go: https://www.escholar.manchester.ac.uk/api/datastream?publicationPid=uk-ac-man-scw:1m1295&datastreamId=POST-PEER-REVIEW-PUBLISHERS-DOCUMENT.PDF

The first 3 pages says what the whole thing is about.

Off topic but ah, geez...

Quote
"The Armenians say : "From whom  do  you  descend-you  who are Syrians by race ?" - Against them we will say:

Neither  you  know  from  whom  you descend.  The  name "Armenian" is  derived from "Armenia" which  is  the  name  of  a country (and not  of  a  person). It is we  (Syrians)  who have  enlightened your  authors and  revealed  to them that  you  are descending from  Toganna, who was  from  the  children of Japhet. As to us Syrians we  descend racially from  Shem, and  our father is Kemuel son of Aram,'  and from this name of  Aram we are also called sometimes in the Books by the name of " Arameans." We are called "Syrians" after the name  of  "Syrus" who built  Antioch with its banlieue; and the country was called after him, "Syria."

Even then we didn't know where or how we got our name it looks like...

It sure wasn't from "Syrus who built Antioch".

What are the opinions of the Armenian posters here on this polemical work?

I guess it won't load, or something.  My computer has been slow lately and I guess I'm too lazy to take it to someone.   Smiley
