Aramaic New Testament with Psalms and Proverbs in English - E-book - ePub

The "Aramaic New Testament with Psalms and Proverbs" is a religious text that includes the New Testament, Psalms, and Proverbs, translated from the Aramaic. Aramaic is the ancient Semitic language spoken by Jesus and his disciples, making this version particularly significant for those interested in studying the scriptures in a language closely related to the original words of Jesus but rendered in English.
This edition is valued for its historical and linguistic authenticity, offering readers a deeper connection to the early Christian texts and Hebrew scriptures. Also significant is the text is written down without verse numbers, but portions have been given a title pertaining to the content of each story within the text making it an easier read for those who simply want to read the scriptures as they were written.
The chapter divisions used today are usually credited to Stephen Langton, who was the Archbishop of Canterbury from 1207-1228. His chapter divisions were used in the Wycliffe English Bible of 1382 and have been used in nearly all versions since. This Aramaic Bible in English uses chapters but not verses.
