This Bible is an English translation of the Aramaic Old and New Testaments. Aramaic was the primary language spoken by Jesus, his disciples, and the earliest Christians.
This Aramaic translation into English clarifies difficult passages and provides insights on many passages often misunderstood in Greek-based translations.
The translator, Dr. George Lamsa, was a native Assyrian
(located in the extreme east of modern-day Turkey.) He was shocked to find that most Christians in
the West used a Greek-based Bible. To Lamsa,
and many other Eastern Christians, the Aramaic
Bible, is the only Bible. He worked on
translating the Aramaic Peshitta into English,
resulting in this Bible, commonly referred to as the "Lamsa Bible."
Paperback, 1243 pages.
