Holy Bible: From the Ancient Eastern Text George M. Lamsa's Translation

Description: "The Holy Bible from Ancient Eastern Manuscripts: Containing the Old and New Testaments Translated from the Peshitta" is a translation of the Bible that was carried out by George M. Lamsa, a scholar and member of the Assyrian Church of the East. The Peshitta is the authoritative Bible of the Syriac Christian churches, and it is written in Syriac, a dialect of Aramaic. Key Features of the Translation:Aramaic Source Texts: The Peshitta is particularly important because it is written in the Aramaic language, which was widely spoken in the regions where early Christianity developed, and it is believed by some to reflect early Christian textual traditions that were contemporaneous with the Greek manuscripts of the Bible. Eastern Christian Tradition: The translation reflects the theological and textual traditions of the Church of the East, which developed independently from the Western Christian churches. This makes the Lamsa Bible a unique source for understanding the Bible from a different perspective than the Greek or Latin traditions. Translation Approach: Lamsa's translation seeks to provide clarity on certain idiomatic expressions that may have been misunderstood or mistranslated in Western Bible versions. He claimed that many of the peculiarities and difficult passages in the Bible could be better understood by referencing the Aramaic context. Differences from Western Canon: There are some notable textual differences between the Peshitta and other versions of the Bible, particularly in the New Testament. For example, the Peshitta lacks several books that are included in the Greek New Testament canon, such as 2 Peter, 2 John, 3 John, Jude, and Revelation (though these books were later added in modern editions).Condition: The spine, page block, hinges, and joints are very good.
