GOSPEL LIGHT, by Dr George Lamsa/Rocco Errico
I wish all serious biblical students should buy these books by Dr. George M. Lamsa and Dr. Rocco Errico! These Semitic writers are a great BLESSING to the body of Christ here in America! I do appreciate their biblical writings much more than the average Bible readers, because I am bi-lingual and when I compare the Aramaic translations of these Semitic scholars with my authorized Greek and Latin New Testament texts I can DISCERN more quickly the gist of our Lord Jesus' teachings! Anyways, based upon my 25 years in the professional law research, among others, I find the "Gospel Light" together with all of the commentaries Dr. George Lamsa and Dr. Rocco Errico wrote to date on biblical matters very insightful, illuminating, and really worthy of special attention to the serious Bible student or reader for that matter! I use my authorized Greek N/T (and Latin) to compare words and phrases, among other things, but I use the Aramaic translation and the Aramaic commentaries more often due to their better English sentence flow. Clearly, the Aramaic Bible translation is superior even to my authorized Greek and Latin texts (not to speak of our English ones)! Moreover, it is made easier for me to apprehend Greek and Latin words and their meaning in my (English)KJV N/T, in the context of Semitic culture from which they originated!
I urge everyone to get these books while they last! They are a great blessing to American Christianity!
Very sincerely,

Gospel Light
I have the original Gospel Light, not the annotated version. It is WONDERFUL. Lamsa has so much MEAT in this book, everytime I read it, I feel like a I am getting a steak dinner. Many things make sense after reading Lamsa along side of the scriptures, that did not make sense before. I have had my copy since 1984 and continue to use it often. Highly recommended.

Scripture Enlightenment
If you are an avid reader of the Scriptures and are looking for some unique perspectives then this is the book for you!

Sometimes we tend to forget that the Scriptures had their origin in the Middle East and that the Middle East is steeped in rich traditions. This book sheds light on those traditions and explains them and their place in the Gospels.

I find the meanings of certain verses, passages and parables much clearer after reading this book.
