The corpus consists of five Narratives that witness both the actions and the liturgical prayers that help “to become a Christian”. The present thesis is a research from a historical, liturgical and theological point of view on the textual findings of the Narratives based on the two versions that we have today, namely the Syriac version edited by W. Wright and the Greek version edited by M. Bonnet. The first part of the thesis situates the Christian initiation in its historical context and the second part analyses liturgical and theological content of the five Narratives. The third part of the thesis reveals the specificity of the liturgical practice and the theological understanding of the rite of Christian initiation according to the AcTh. The liturgical content being that, at the demand of the candidates for "rušmā" / " sphragis", the apostle gives them “Anointing-Baptism-Eucharist” in a single liturgical celebration. One of the important findings of this research is that the Holy Spirit who is called upon in two of the Epiclesis of the Narratives was not part of the original texts, but is indeed a later addition resulting from the Trinitarian and Pneumatological discussions in the 3rd and 4th centuries. The shift from a Christological perspective, which is present in the entire corpus, to a Pneumatological perspective in the liturgical texts, shows how the AcTh evolved in tune to the theological developments that took place in the history of the ancient Church.
