Lamsa explains nearly one thousand crucial idioms that will enrich reading of the Old and New Testaments for students and general reader alike.  Lamsa, who was raised speaking Aramaic in a community that followed customs largely unchanged since the times of Christ, offers fresh, accurate translations of important idioms, metaphors, and figures of speech found in the Scripture--and provides clear explanations of their meaning of biblical context.  Just as Shakespeare, Milton, and Browning wrote in the vernacular for English-speaking people, Moses the prophets, and the apostles wrote for their own people in the plain language of their times, so that even the unlearned might understand God's Word. Over the centuries, inaccurate translations and misunderstandings of customs and concepts have led to difficulties in bringing the biblical message to contemporary English-speaking readers.  For example, when a man says to Jesus, \"let me bury my father,\" Lamsa points out that this expression means, \"Let me first take care of my father until he dies.\" Traditionally, scholars assumed that this man's father was dead and that Jesus was not interested in his burial. Lamsa's scholarship offers a more accurate understanding of the intent and spirit of this passage.  Idioms in the Bible Explained and a Key to the Original Gospels goes far in correcting such errors that have crept into Biblical scholarship. Obscure and difficult passages from both Old and New Testaments are listed and compared with the King James version (though it will be helpful when used with any English version). These make clear the original meaning of such ancient idioms and assure that our grasp of the biblical message is more sound and rewarding.  To further uncover the original teachings of Scripture, Idioms in the Bible Explained and a Key to the Original Gospels, Lamsa discusses at greater length such topics as \"The Language of Jesus,\" \"Aramaic Phraseology,\" \"The Sayings of Jesus,\" \"Early Translations,\" and more..","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49660932325649,"sku":"CIN0060649275G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49788400009489,"sku":"CIN0060649275VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50096634167569,"sku":"CIN0060649275A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50286670545169,"sku":"GOR003431933","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":50983026393361,"sku":"NIN9780060649272","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52613930713361,"sku":"NLS9780060649272","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53228521947409,"sku":"GOR007124665","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0060649275.jpg?v=1750908061"},{"product_id":"modern-new-testament-from-aramaic-book-george-m-lamsa-9780967598932","title":"The Modern New Testament from Aramaic","description":"Parochie-assistenten. Leken als bedienaars van de eredienst. Wat lang een stille hoop of vrees was, is nu werkelijkheid geworden. Een weliswaar beperkt aantal leken met de functie van parochie-assistent kan voortaan van een staatsbezoldiging genieten, zoals voor clerici die bedienaar van de eredienst zijn al heel lang het geval is. Bij deze doorbraak rijzen vragen. Wat te denken over de nieuwe evolutie vanuit een theologisch en vanuit een kerkrechtelijk perspectief ? Hoe ziet het juridische statuut van de parochie-assistent eruit ? Kunnen wij wat leren van de Nederlandse ervaringen ? Wat is het standpunt van de kerkelijke overheid ? En welke vragen leven bij het geengageerde kerkvolk ? Deze en andere onderwerpen komen aan bod in een boek dat informeert, de discussie voedt en heel zeker ook een momentopname is van het spreken en denken over Kerk in Vlaanderen op het einde van de twintigste eeuw.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50052933452049,"sku":"GOR005083398","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50871204348177,"sku":"CIN0967598931G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":50984852848913,"sku":"NIN9780967598932","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51918655291665,"sku":"CIN0967598931VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0967598931.jpg?v=1751109341"},{"product_id":"lamsa-new-testament-light-book-george-lamsa-9780060649326","title":"Lamsa New Testament Light","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50305232568593,"sku":"CIN0060649321VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51765047918865,"sku":"CIN0060649321G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0060649321.jpg?v=1750972954"},{"product_id":"my-neighbor-jesus-in-the-light-of-his-own-language-people-and-time-book-george-lamsa-9781494320720","title":"My Neighbor Jesus: In the Light of His Own Language, People, and Time","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50377546367249,"sku":"CIN149432072XVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51742136467729,"sku":"GOR010788264","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52106523050257,"sku":"CIN149432072XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/149432072X.jpg?v=1751211577"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-au\/collections\/author-books-by-george-lamsa.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
