	Saint Addai - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Among the Eastern Orthodox faithful, Saint Addai is the person who was sent by Saint Thomas the Apostle to Edessa in order to heal King Abgar, who had fallen ill. Addai stayed to evangelize, and converted Abgar—or Agbar, or in one Latin version "Acbar"— and his people including Saint Aggai and Saint Mari.
		The fully developed legend of Addai is embodied in the Syriac document, Doctrine of Addai, which recounts the role of Addai and makes him one of the 72 Apostles sent out to spread the Christian faith (Luke 10:1 – 20).
		Addai appears in unorthodox material as well, in two previously unknown Apocalypses attributed to James the Just found at Nag Hammadi in 1945 (Eisenman 1997).

		Similarly the spread of Nestorian doctrines throughout the western and south-western regions of the Persian Empire was accompanied by the ecclesiastical use of a form of Syriac which differed very slightly indeed from that employed farther west by the Jacobites.
		The well-known legend of the correspondence of Abgar Ukkama, king of Edessa, with Christ and the mission of Addai to Edessa immediately after the Ascension was accepted as true by the historian Eusebius (t340) on the faith of a Syriac document pre-served in the official archives of the city.
		All these documents, like Addai, belong probably to the 2nd half of the 4th century, and are quite unreliable in detail for the historian,' though they may throw some light on the conditions of life at Edessa under Roman government.

	Doctrine of Addai
		Addai (Thaddeus in Eusebius) healed the king of his sickness, and preached before him, relating the discovery of the True Cross by Protonice, wife of the Emperor Claudius; this, with all that follows, is later than Eusebius, being founded on the story of St. Helena.
		The doctrine of the book is not unorthodox, though some expressions might be understood in an Apollinarian sense.
		The "Doctrine of Addai" was first published in Syriac in a fragmentary form by Cureton, "Ancient Syriac documents" (London, 1864, a posthumous work), with a translation; another translation in "Ante-Nicene Chr.

	The Doctrine of Addai (1876). Preface
		Addai, according to Eusebius, was one of the seventy, or according to this document, the Armenian version, and "The Doctrine of the Apostles," one of the seventy-two disciples.
		Again, in the discourse of Addai to the assembled Edessenes, and in his farewell address, there are passages which we find in the Gospels; but this circumstance cannot be cited as evidence against the genuineness of the work.
		Addai, in his farewell discourse, charges those who were ordained to the ministry, the deacons and priests, to take heed to the duties of their office; for before the judgment-seat of Christ, they would be required to render an account.

	GRIFFITH: The Doctrina Addai as a Paradigm of Christian Thought in Edessa in the Fifth Century
		[13] Abgar instructs Addai to address all the people, "that they might know that the Son of God is God."28 The people are summoned, with their leaders, who are named. There are three sections in the address which one may summarize under the headings: Christology; personal testimony; and an exhortation against paganism.
		When Addai ages, Aggai is appointed in his place as administrator and prefect (mdabbrānâ wpāqûdâ)42 of the church in Edessa, Palut, a deacon, becomes a presbyter, and Abshelama, a scribe, becomes deacon.

		The Doctrine of Addai recovers the letter of Abgar to Jesus and the Lord’s response, promising eternal life to the king and the inhabitants of his suzerain kingdom for believing in Christ’s name, and also that the enemies of the realm should not prevail over it.
		According to the legend, Thomas was followed at Edessa by Addai, accompanied by his disciples Aggai and Mari, who arrived three years after the Ascension of Christ and who are said to have gone as far as the ‘great lakes of the east’ converting the nations to Christianity.
		Addai is also believed to have been the apostle of the region of Adiabene, modern-day Arbel.

		And they ministered with him in the church which Addai had built by the word and command of Abgar the king, and they were supplied from that which was the king's and his nobles; and some of them they brought for the house of God, and some for the nourishment of the poor.
		According to Eusebius, Addai was one of the seventy disciples of Christ.
		According to the former, Addai had gathered around him the nobles and chiefs, in order that he might deliver unto them his farewell and dying discourse, but in the latter it is said that "the Apostle Addai conceived the thought of visiting the countries of the East and Assyria to preach there," andc.

		However, Antioch was heavily Hellenized, and the Mesopotamian cities of Edessa, Nisibis and Ctesiphon became Syriac cultural centres.
		The early literature of Syriac Christianity include the Diatessaron of Tatian (most probably), the Peshitta Bible (partly based on a Jewish Targum), the Doctrine of Addai and the writings of Aphrahat and the hymns of Ephrem the Syrian.
		The first division between Syriac Christians occurred in the 5th century, when Christians of the Persian Empire were separated from those in the west over the Nestorian Schism.

	RAMELLI: Possible historical traces in the Doctrina Addai
		The most evident allusion to Constantine's time in the Doctrina is the story, told by Addai to Abgar, of the inventio crucis by Protonike—the alleged wife of the emperor Claudius converted in Rome by Simon, who worked miracles in Jesus' name—, who clearly is a double of St. Helena, Constantine's mother.
		In this perspective, the most important part of the document seems to be not the Abgar legend, but the long accounts of Addai's sermons and speeches in which he delivers the Christian message in Edessa, and which appear more central from the narratological point of view.
		He was one of the most intimate friends of Tiberius: born and grew up in Rome with Augustus' nieces, he obtained the government of Egypt, a direct possession of the emperor and probably helped the good relationship between Abgar and Tiberius that is evident in their correspondence.

		Addai converted Abgar and multitudes of his people, among other the royal jeweller, Aggai, whom he made bishop and his successor, and Palut, whom Addai ordained priest on his deathbed.
		Nevertheless, even with all these historical problems, Addai and Mari have been venerated since the earliest times as the evangelists of the Tigris-Euphrates region, and still are by their successors, the Catholic Chaldeans and the Nestorians of Iraq and Kurdistan (Benedictines, Delaney, Walsh).

	The Church of the East
		An early document called the Doctrine of Addai (written sometime between 390 and 430) tells the story of King Abgar V of Edessa, who apparently converted to Christianity as a result of the ministry of Addai (or Thaddeus), one of the seventy sent out by Christ (Luke 10:1).
		According to the legend, Addai and Mari, another disciple, were dispatched by the apostle Thomas in response to a letter sent to Jesus himself by the king, requesting healing from his leprosy.
		Addai healed Abgar, resulting in the conversion of the king and many of his subjects.

	Liturgy of Addeus and Maris
		This tradition is based on the narrative contained in the "Doctrine of Addai", a work generally ascribed to the second half of the third century.
		Addeus and his disciple Maris are said to have converted the King and people of Edessa, to have organized the Christian Church there, and to have composed the liturgy which bears their names.
		There seem to be no documents earlier than the "Doctrine of Addai" to confirm this tradition.

	Thomas and Edessa
		The view of Professor Helmut Koester of Harvard may hold the answer to the riddle: Thaddeus was deliberately substituted for Thomas as the founder of Christianity in Edessa at a time when the emergent orthodox church of the Mediterranean world was establishing itself in that city.
		We authorize the followers of this doctrine to assume the title of Catholic Christians; and as we judge, that all others are extravagant madmen, we brand them with the infamous name of Heretics.
		Thus the line from Thomas (through Addai, Aggai and Mari) was broken and Peter, through Palut, was substituted as the source of apostolic authority.

	Consubstantial with the Father (No. 81)
		The doctrine of Consubstantiality of Jesus Christ is held by Trinitarians in an incorrect manner to effectively deny the participation of the elect in the divine nature as co-heirs with Christ.
		The ecclesiastical doctrine of the Trinity, established by the dogma of the ancient Church, is not a Biblical kerygma, therefore it is not the kerygma of the Church, but it is a theological doctrine which defends the central faith of the Bible and the Church.
		This conclusion is necessary because the doctrine of the Trinity had to be stated by the Athanasians in order to defeat the Arian position of the creation of Christ based upon the various proof texts such as Hebrews 3:2, Proverbs 8:22, John 16:28; 20:17, Ephesians 4:4-6 and Revelation 3:14, 4:11.

		The Syriac Doctrine of Addai recounts how Christ send Addai, one of the Seventy Disciples, to King Abgar of Edessa.
		The Syriac Orthodox community there was partly a result of the Persian abduction of the Syrian population during the wars with Byzantium and forced settlement on Persian territory and partly of Christians in Persia who reacted against political imposition of the doctrines of the Church of the East.
