Condition: New

Aramaic Light on the Gospels of Mark and 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 and the previous volume take 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 commentary is more than just a revision of Dr. Lamsas 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 In addition, this book contains unpublished material that the two of them had drafted just before Dr.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.
