It is astonishing in our day and age how difficult it has been to obtain the Gospels presented in the Aramaic Language—until now. This edition of The Aramaic Gospels and Acts finally presents the traditional Aramaic text and an English translation in an affordable manner.
The oldest Aramaic translations of the original Greek Gospels were finally standardized sometime in the third or fourth century as the version known as the Peshitta. The Syriac-Aramaic Peshitta version has been regarded as the standard version ever since, and is the same text presented here in the old Estrangelo letters. The English translation is linguistically conservative yet highly readable.
Students of scriptural study and interested readers alike will find this edition well worth the wait.
The translator, Joseph Pashka, currently works in the computer field as a technical engineer. Father of three, he was born in 1953 to devout Lithuanian parents, from whom he acquired his affinity for archaic languages and scriptural study. While attending the University of Arizona, he studied Sanskrit, and later, Greek and Gothic, as well as the West Baltic languages. He presently lives in Arizona.
