Origin and history of the books of the Bible, both the canonical and the apocryphal, designed to show what the Bible is not, what it is, and how to use it . inst Sabellius and also against Paul of Samosata;during the Valerian persecution he was driven intoexile; and after a most unquiet life he died in his numerous writings we have only fragmentsremaining, which have been collected and published. Epliraem the Syrian was born at Nisibis in Mesopo-tamia, became abbot of the cloister in Edessa, and diedin 378, He was a voluminous writer in the Syrianlanguage; his works were highly esteemed; they weretranslated into Greek and read in many churches. Aswe have already observed, the text of the New Testa-ment itself was in one instance at least obliterated tofurnish parchment for a copy of Ephraems Sermons;a symbol of what has often happened in the Christianchurch since his time. His works have been frequentlyand very handsomely published. Epiphanius was of Jewish origin, and born in a vil-lage near Jerusalem about the year 310. After hisconversion to Christianity he became a Monk in Pales-tine and was afterwards made bishop of Salamis in.
