Customer Reviews

A man's search for Truth.
This is an excellent refrence for New Testament Bible study. Dr. Lamsa has a scholary insight into the ancient Aramaic texts that is easy to read and understand. The Aramaic translations illuminate many nuances lost due to slight mistakes in the main stream Greek versions of the New Testament. I also purchased Dr. Lamsa's translation of the Holy Bible from the ancient Eastern texts, I have replaced all my other Bibles with this one. Dr Lamsa works are a blessing to not just Christians, but all mankind.

The Printing Company Should Be Ashamed
I received my copy of the Deluxe Study Edition and love it!
One not so small complaint though. Portions of the book are fraught with numerous misspellings and typographical errors. It's very distracting and less than professional in this age of spell-check and computers.
Example: pg. 586 last paragraph
"They were mostly unctiltured..."
Some places I have found as many as five errors in one paragraph.
Shame on the printer:

The Modern New Testament from the Aramaic: With New Testament Origin, Comparative Bible Verses, & A Compact English-Aramaic Conc
I just purchased this Bible translation and have loved using it as a study guide when I am studying scripture. Most of the time it parallels my NIV translation and NKJV also, but it is when it reads a little different that it really sparks my attention and my desire to look deeper into God's word for a more in-depth study. Using different translations is very helpful in understanding what scripture is saying. Using a the Lamsa translation from the original language gives insight to consider more deeply what God means in His scripture. It is really a good resource.
