The Assyrians and their conversion to Christianity
On 9 September 2025, Assyria TV aired a live follow-up interview in its In the Beginning Ashur program, hosted by Joseph Pirayou Ashur and featuring Prof. Dr. Efrem Yildiz of the University of Salamanca.
Building on the previous session, Prof. Yildiz offers a compact masterclass on the centuries after the fall of Nineveh, showing how Assyrian society endured under successive empires, why “Assyrian Imperial Aramaic” developed alongside cuneiform, and how early Christianity spread across the Assyrian heartland within Roman–Persian dynamics.
He connects language policy, liturgy, scripts, and naming practices to a broader narrative of identity and continuity—framing the discussion for students and young scholars seeking a clear, source-based account.
Stream the full Assyria TV interview (9 Sept 2025) with host Joseph Pirayou Ashur and guest Prof. Dr. Efrem Yildiz to follow the step-by-step evidence and see how rigorous scholarship can guide a new generation toward informed unity and cultural renewal.
