Aramaic Light on Genesis

If you instinctively shy away from commentaries Aramaic Light on Genesis will surprise you! No dull theological seminary text, this commentary will appeal to anyone who enjoys a good narrative. It carries you back almost four thousand years, providing an unusual perspective on the book of Genesis. This inimitable commentary acts as Near Eastern guide, revealing to the Western mind a more intimate picture of the socio-religious and psychological environment of the period. Its approach is simple, informative, and scholarly, without using specialized theological terminology. The comments are written in narrative form, opening a doorway into the Near Eastern culture of the times, the powerful faith of the patriarchs, their visions and dreams, and their unsophisticated lifestyle. Aramaic Light on Genesis unlocks many misunderstood passages of scripture. The authors clarify the Creation epic poem, the Adam and Eve story, Noah and the great flood, the Tower of Babel, the mysterious priesthood of Melchizedek, Sodom and Gomorrah, Lot s wife turned into a pillar of salt, and much more. This volume is not just a revision of Dr. Lamsa s Old Testament Light commentary on Genesis, 1964. Dr. Errico has edited, expanded, and annotated the previous comments in the new format that Dr. Lamsa desired. In addition, this book contains unpublished material that the two of them had only drafted prior to Dr. Lamsa s death in 1975. Dr. Errico completed these comments, adding information derived from his continual research in Aramaic word meanings and Near Eastern Semitic Studies.
