George Lamsa

George Lamsa was a Syrian scholar and translator known for his translation of the Bible from the Aramaic Peshitta, the original language believed to have been spoken by Jesus and his disciples. His work aimed to present the scriptures closer to their original linguistic and cultural context, providing insights often missed in translations from Greek or Latin. Lamsa's translation and commentary emphasize the historical and linguistic background of the text, offering readers a deeper understanding of biblical stories and teachings within their ancient Semitic setting.
