Synopsis

Aramaic Light on Romans through 2 Corinthians, New Testament Series Volume 5, is a unique commentary based on Aramaic, the language of Jesus, and on ancient Near/Middle Eastern customs and manners. This volume presents new insights into and understanding of Paul’s letters, his use of Semitic, idiomatic expressions, admonitions and teachings that he wrote to the churches throughout the Roman Empire.

The method and style of writing is simple, informative, and scholarly, without using specialized theological terminology. Dr. Errico and Dr. Lamsa act as guides, revealing to the Western reader a more intimate picture of the socio-religious and psychological environment of the times. They clarify many misunderstood statements and teachings that Paul discusses in his epistles, such as: The True Righteousness of God; Circumcision; Paul’s Use of Sacrificial, Cultic Terminology; Paul’s Intended meaning of "all have sinned and come short of the glory of God;" The Manifestation of the Sons of God; Speaking in Tongues of Angels and of Men; Women keeping silent in Church; Cup of Devils; Long and Short Hair; How Moses Brought Water from a Rock The Love Chapter; and more.

This volume is not just a revision of Dr. Lamsa’s commentaries, New Testament Commentary, 1945, and More Light on the Gospel, 1968. Dr. Errico has edited, expanded and annotated these previous works in the new format that Dr. Lamsa desired. In addition, this book contains unpublished information that the two of the outlined prior to Dr. Lamsa’s death in 1975. Dr Errico completed these comments and has added information derived from his continual research in Near Eastern Semitic studies.

His native tongue was full of similar idioms and parables, untouched by the outside world in 1900 years.
