Comment by Obadiah Robinson on December 15, 2010 at 5:59pm: Are there any translations of the full Bible from the Aramaic other than Lamsa's Translation? His translation is too much like the KJV.

Comment by James Trimm on December 15, 2010 at 6:12pm: No. And even Lamsa did not translate the Peshitta Apocrypha (which are part of the canon of the Peshitta Tanak).

A good resource some day would be the Masoretic Text, LXX and Peshitta translated literally in parallel columns and annotated with reference to the Samaritan text, the Dead Sea Scrolls and Masorah.

Comment by Obadiah Robinson on December 15, 2010 at 6:57pm: That's my dream Bible, the LXX, Hebrew Masoretic, and Peshitta, in the original scripts with an English translation for each one. It would be a massive undertaking, but worth it.

Comment by Gregg Key on December 16, 2010 at 5:15pm: Looking Forward to seeing this take place.

Comment by Obadiah Robinson on December 16, 2010 at 6:50pm: Tell me how much it will be.

Comment by Gregg Key on December 20, 2010 at 2:16pm: What is the best resource available to understand the original aramaic as spoken by Jesus? Thanks

Comment by Obadiah Robinson on December 21, 2010 at 3:54pm: I would say, go to a Maronite Catholic Church and ask the priest for lessons in Aramaic. They have their service all in the Aramaic spoken by Jesus.

Comment by Wayne Ingalls on December 22, 2010 at 2:16am: @ Gregg: Try Everyday Aramaic (Galilean)

Comment by J. Jury (אליהוא) on January 12, 2011 at 2:38am: What is your take on the book called 2nd Baruch, as it was included in some manuscripts of the Syriac Peshitta?

Comment by Gregg Key on January 12, 2011 at 7:18pm: That is very interesting Mr Trimm, I took the Laws of Living course in Albany Ga from Dr McDougald in the early 80's. Took over the Aramaic Bible Society in 2006 and served as President until 2009. During this time I had the chance to teach the course.
