  • The Introduction explains the different translations !!!

    It helps me study, and the section before the scriptures is what I've been looking for also; a distinction between the translations and the history of how they came about and why the translation that has gone through the Greek language has some errors and the translation directly from the original Peshitta more accurately aligns with the Hebrew that I study. We need to study both, just understand the history of each. THANK YOU

  • Aramaic Bible

    Bible was in very good condition, albeit used. The Lamsa's translation from the Aramaic of the Peshitta is the standard for the language Jesus spoke. Its translation clarifies scripture from errors through intermediary translations of Latin and Greek. Highly recommended for your study library.

  • Hardly recommend having this Bible to refer to.

    I am happy to have this translation once again. It sheds light on the intent by translating from the language spoken at the time of the original writing. Also the cultural context reflected in the writing.

  • Love these Plain ❤️ and Precious Promises of Hope found between the pages of this version of Biblical Writings as Scriptures of the Gospels of LOVE...

    This translation of both Old And New Testament to The Living Loving Gospel of The Son of Man, as Righteousness, The Incarnate Word, Messiah is the most concisely bound and clearly explained version of Biblical Scriptures I have in my personal library to date... Thanks to The Most High Above All for providing this invaluable resource to all who desire and seek "The Better Way and The Truth and The Light of Life Eternal." Thank You Saints, Eastern Orthodox Church Body members, George Lamsa and Writing/ Editing/Publishing's Staff.

  • Great Buy

    Mr. Lamsa did a good job incorporating his knowledge of ancient Aramaic into this volume. Sadly, he did not use our Father's proper name; as is easily discerned.

  • GOOD BIBLE

    It's a used Bible. With highlights & a name in it. However, it's still readable & not rip. It's good to me.

  • Holy Bible

    This Bible is a rare gem, but the cost on this Bible was outrageous for a bible. There should be a cap on price . It is over 30 years old.
