Condition: New

In The Shepherd of All, George M. Lamsa brings an understanding to Psalm 23 that could only come from the first-hand experience of the Bible-land shepherd. Dr. Lamsa is primarily remembered for his momentous accomplishments in the field of translating Biblical Aramaic. But Lamsa's unique background enabled him to contribute to Biblical research in another powerful way. Born in the remote, unchanged lands located in the basin of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, he grew up in a culture where the customs, manners, and idioms, as well as the language of the Bible itself had been preserved throughout the centuries. Lamsa was raised in a family of shepherds, the occupation of his ancestors for generations. And from that understanding of the life, ways, and heart of the shepherd of the East, the reader comes to know the heart of the good shepherd like never before.
