I can't think of a whole lot, but I know I disagree with Dr. Lamsa on a lot of stuff. He was Trinitarian in the since that all members of the Church of the East are. They do not teach that God is manifest in three "Persons", rather three qnome. This word is untranslatable in English, but the best translations available as "substance" or "core substance". This word is also used to describe Jesus's two natures of deity and humanity. Paul Younan describes it as a distinction, but not enough of a distinction where the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit could be said to be different Persons. The Church of the East doesn't use the term "Person" in reference to God outside of the incarnation, as they think this would be calling God a human being (but I venture that you can be a "person" without being a "human person").
