Price: $26.95 — Noohra Member Price: $22.91
Aramaic Light
on the Gospels of Mark & Luke, like its predecessor Aramaic Light on the
Gospel of Matthew, carries you back almost two thousand years, providing a
clear perspective of Jesus in the light of his own language, people and times.
However, this volume is unique in that it provides insight into the psychology
of Jesus' healing methods.
This inimitable commentary acts as a 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. Each comment is written
in narrative form, clarifying the idioms, customs, and manners of Jesus' day.
This commentary is suitable for use by anyone who is eager to resume acquaintance
with Jesus' powerful Gospel of the Kingdom.
Like Volume One, Volume Two takes you through the heart of the gospels, illuminating
difficult and puzzling passages and offering unparalleled insight into the
character and behavior of Near Eastern Semites. This is the field of Dr. Errico's
and Dr. Lamsa's research and expertise.
This commentary is more than just a revision of Dr. Lamsa's commentaries,
Gospel Light and More Light on the Gospel. Dr. Errico has edited, expanded
and annotated these previous works in the new format that Dr. Lamsa desired.
In addition, this book contains unpublished material that the two of them
had drafted just before Dr. Lamsa died in 1975. Dr. Errico completed the comments
that they had only outlined and has also added information derived from his
continual research in Aramaic word meanings and Near Eastern Semitic studies.

LET
THERE BE LIGHT: THE SEVEN KEYS
$
17.95 ( 15.26 )
The
Bible is more than anything else a Middle Eastern account of spiritualevents
and teachings. In this bold new book, Dr. Rocco A. Errico seeks to build a
bridge between our Western ways of understanding and the Middle Eastern social
realities that are embedded in the Bible. He helps us to see the Bible through
Semitic, Aramaic eyes. Bypassing doctrinal creeds and rigid interpretations,
he judiciously corrects numerous errors and misleading literal translations
that have caused confusion for centuries. This book equips the reader with
seven key insights to understand the allusions, parables, and teachings of
the Bible, opening the door to the ancient Aramaic world from which the Bible
emerged.
AND
THERE WAS LIGHT
$
19.95 ( 16.96 )
Like
it's predecessor, Let There Be Light, this book takes us through the heart
of the Hebrew Bible and New Testament by working with Aramaic-the language
spoken by the Patriarchs, Jesus, his apostles and their contemporaries. With
his knowledge of the customes, idioms, psychology, symbolism and philosophy
of Semitic peoples, Dr. Rocco A. Errico unlocks puzzling biblical passages.
Suddenly the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, becomes clearer and more relevant
for Western readers. The teachings ministry and parables of Jesus come alive
as you've never read before. Topics include: Rabbi Eshoa-Jesus - An Aramaic
Speaking Shemite, Uncovering Jesus' Gospel, The Parables of Jesus (Dr. Rocco
A. Errico's translation), The Human-Divine Paradigm, The Secret of Knowing,
Perfect Love, An Expanded Teaching on the 23rd Psalm, The Book of Revelation.
THE
MYSTERIES OF CREATION: THE GENESIS STORY
$16.95
( 14.41 )
Dr.
Rocco A. Errico uses his own direct translation from the Aramaic-Peshitta
text of Genesis 1:1-31 and 2:1-3 as a basis for a challenging new look at
the processes, revelations, and mysteries of the primal Creation account.
He discusses the Semitic meaning, names, and theories of the origin of God
and "its" means of creating the world. Where appropriate, Dr. Rocco A. Errico
borrows insights from the world of both quantum physics and Biblical scholarship.
He shows readers that behind the material appearance of the world operates
a sacred Intelligence (calledElohim) and that all Creation is a meaningful
representation of the creative acts of this primal deity.
THE
MESSAGE OF MATTHEW: AN ANNOTATED PARALLEL
ARAMAIC-ENGLISH
GOSPEL OF MATTHEW
$24.95
( 21.21 )
Here
we see Dr. Rocco A. Errico at work with a classic text from the New Testament,
exhibiting his inimitable blend of rigorous scholarship and intuitive interpretation
to great advantage. Dr. Rocco A. Errico's line-by-line translation runs on
opposite pages to the original Aramaic as the book provides hundreds of footnotes
clarifying cultural, political, and theological points raised in the translation.
His intention is to carry the reader directly into the Semitic-Aramaic world
in which this text originates and still lives. "The simplicity, directness,
and typical Eastern transparency and manner of delivery become evident when
one reads the text of this `Shemitic dialect,'" says Dr. Rocco A. Errico.
SETTING
A TRAP FOR GOD: THE ARAMAIC PRAYER OF JESUS
$
10.95 ( 9.31 )
A
revised and expanded version of Dr. Rocco A. Errico's most popular volume
- his provocative retranslation (with commentary) of the Lord's Prayer. In
Dr. Rocco A. Errico's fresh translation directly from the original Aramaic
source, he interprets the structure of the prayer in terms of eight attunements,
"which adjust one to spiritual forces in and around oneself, which is precisely
how Jesus taught his disciples to tune in to the inexhaustible power of the
Heavenly Father." Prayer is not so much telling God what you want, but listening
to what God would tell us, says Dr. Rocco A. Errico.
CLASSICAL
ARAMAIC: BOOK I
