description: Aramaic Light on the Acts of the Apostles, New Testament Series Volume 4, is a unique commentary based on Aramaic, the language of Jesus, and on ancient Near/Middle Eastern customs and manners. This volume presents new insights into and understanding of the words and idioms as they were used by Jesus, his apostles and contemporaries. The method and style of writing is simple, informative, and scholarly, without using specialized theological terminology. Dr. Errico and Dr. Lamsa acts as guides, revealing to the Western mind a more intimate picture of the socio-religious and psychological environment of the times. The book of Acts comes alive under their skillful and cultural approach. They bring clarification to many misunderstood verses of scripture and episodic experiences of the apostles and growth of Jesus’ spiritual movement under apostolic guidance. Topics The Ascension of Jesus, Pentecost and the Descent of the Holy Spirit, Paul’s Conversion, Healing Methods, and more. This volume is not just a revision of Dr. Lamsa’s commentaries, New Testament Commentary, 1945, and More Light on the Gospel, 1968. 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 In addition, this book contains unpublished material that the two of them outlined prior to Dr Lamsa’s death in 1975. Dr Errico completed these comments and has added information derived from his continual research in Near Eastern Semitic studies.
