Mr. Lamsa has given a new light in explaining Eastern customs and manners in the translations of the New Testament.

New Testament Commentary: Acts to Revelation

George M. Lamsa

Holman Bible Publishers

Western culture has affected Bible translation for two thousand years. In this translation, George M. Lamsa bridges East and West, bringing to modern English readers a direct translation from the Aramaic, the language of Jesus and his disciples. In so doing, he unravels many of the mysteries created by obscure interpretations and opens the possibility for fuller understanding of the very basis of Christianity.

By George M. Lamsa, previously author of Gospel Light, New Testament Commentary and other Biblical works. ISBN 0-87981-096-3. The purpose of this "nohara", or commentary, is to throw light on obscure passages in Bible translations, to correct the words which have been mistranslated, and thus to recover the lost meaning of the verses; to explain biblical idioms, metaphors, allegories, customs, and manners which in their ancient context are difficult and unfamiliar to Western minds, but simple for the Easterners to understand. After all, the Old Testament was written first in Semitic languages, for Semitic people, centuries before Greek, Latin, and the present European languages were born. The New Testament was written for the descendants of the same people. And the authors of this sacred literature wre moved by the Holy Spirit. They lived in a world of unseen realities.

THE KINGDOM ON EARTH, by Dr. George M. Lamsa, gives the reader a 192 page narrative account of the Sermon On The Mount and The Lord's Prayer as seen from the perspective of one who grew up as an Aramaic-speaking Christian in the Near East and who is familiar with the Holy Land. This little book on the Beatitudes is often referred to as "The Constitution for the Kingdom of God on Earth".

Dr. Lamsa presents provocative theories surrounding the origin and development of the New Testament writings. His research challendes long-held assumptions in Western scholarship, such as his discoveries that the New Testament was first written in Aramaic; not Greek. Matthew was the earliest Godpel writer, recording the words of Christ while He was bodily present on Earth. Mark, Luke &amp; Paul were born in the years following Jesus' death, and were not contemporaries of Jesis. Dr. Lamsa offers a historical overview on the transmission of the Aramaic New Testament texts, and "New Testament Origin" is an invaluable resource for both students and scholars.
