Aramaic Light
on the Gospels of Mark & Luke, like its predecessor Aramaic Light on the
Gospel of Matthew, carries you back almost two thousand years, providing a
clear perspective of Jesus in the light of his own language, people and times.
However, this volume is unique in that it provides insight into the psychology
of Jesus' healing methods.
This inimitable commentary acts as a Near Eastern guide, revealing to the
Western mind a more intimate picture of the socio-religious and psychological
environment of the period. Its approach is simple, informative, and scholarly
without using specialized theological terminology. Each comment is written in
narrative form, clarifying the idioms, customs, and manners of Jesus' day.
This commentary is suitable for use by anyone who is eager to resume
acquaintance with Jesus' powerful Gospel of the Kingdom.
Like Volume One, Volume Two takes you through the heart of the gospels,
illuminating difficult and puzzling passages and offering unparalleled insight
into the character and behavior of Near Eastern Semites. This is the field of
Dr. Errico's and Dr. Lamsa's research and expertise.
This commentary is more than just a revision of Dr. Lamsa's commentaries,
Gospel Light and More Light on the Gospel. Dr. Errico has edited, expanded and
annotated these previous works in the new format that Dr. Lamsa desired. In
addition, this book contains unpublished material that the two of them had
drafted just before Dr. Lamsa died in 1975. Dr. Errico completed the comments
that they had only outlined and has also added information derived from his
continual research in Aramaic word meanings and Near Eastern Semitic studies.

The
Bible is more than anything else a Middle Eastern account of spiritualevents
and teachings. In this bold new book, Dr. Rocco A. Errico seeks to build a
bridge between our Western ways of understanding and the Middle Eastern social
realities that are embedded in the Bible. He helps us to see the Bible through
Semitic, Aramaic eyes. Bypassing doctrinal creeds and rigid interpretations,
he judiciously corrects numerous errors and misleading literal translations
that have caused confusion for centuries. This book equips the reader with
seven key insights to understand the allusions, parables, and teachings of the
Bible, opening the door to the ancient Aramaic world from which the Bible
emerged.
AND
THERE WAS LIGHT
$

Like
it's predecessor, Let There Be Light, this book takes us through the heart of
the Hebrew Bible and New Testament by working with Aramaic-the language spoken
by the Patriarchs, Jesus, his apostles and their contemporaries. With his
knowledge of the customes, idioms, psychology, symbolism and philosophy of
Semitic peoples, Dr. Rocco A. Errico unlocks puzzling biblical passages.
Suddenly the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, becomes clearer and more
relevant for Western readers. The teachings ministry and parables of Jesus
come alive as you've never read before. Topics include: Rabbi Eshoa-Jesus - An
Aramaic Speaking Shemite, Uncovering Jesus' Gospel, The Parables of Jesus (Dr.
Rocco A. Errico's translation), The Human-Divine Paradigm, The Secret of
Knowing, Perfect Love, An Expanded Teaching on the 23rd Psalm, The Book of
Revelation.
THE
MYSTERIES OF CREATION: THE GENESIS STORY
$16.95
Dr.
Rocco A. Errico uses his own direct translation from the Aramaic-Peshitta text
of Genesis 1:1-31 and 2:1-3 as a basis for a challenging new look at the
processes, revelations, and mysteries of the primal Creation account. He
discusses the Semitic meaning, names, and theories of the origin of God and
"its" means of creating the world. Where appropriate, Dr. Rocco A.
Errico borrows insights from the world of both quantum physics and Biblical
scholarship. He shows readers that behind the material appearance of the world
operates a sacred Intelligence (calledElohim) and that all Creation is a
meaningful representation of the creative acts of this primal deity.
THE
MESSAGE OF MATTHEW: AN ANNOTATED PARALLEL
ARAMAIC-ENGLISH
GOSPEL OF MATTHEW
$24.95
Here
we see Dr. Rocco A. Errico at work with a classic text from the New Testament,
exhibiting his inimitable blend of rigorous scholarship and intuitive
interpretation to great advantage. Dr. Rocco A. Errico's line-by-line
translation runs on opposite pages to the original Aramaic as the book
provides hundreds of footnotes clarifying cultural, political, and theological
points raised in the translation. His intention is to carry the reader
directly into the Semitic-Aramaic world in which this text originates and
still lives. "The simplicity, directness, and typical Eastern
transparency and manner of delivery become evident when one reads the text of
this `Shemitic dialect,'" says Dr. Rocco A. Errico.
SETTING
A TRAP FOR GOD: THE ARAMAIC PRAYER OF JESUS
$

A
revised and expanded version of Dr. Rocco A. Errico's most popular volume -
his provocative retranslation (with commentary) of the Lord's Prayer. In Dr.
Rocco A. Errico's fresh translation directly from the original Aramaic source,
he interprets the structure of the prayer in terms of eight attunements,
"which adjust one to spiritual forces in and around oneself, which is
precisely how Jesus taught his disciples to tune in to the inexhaustible power
of the Heavenly Father." Prayer is not so much telling God what you want,
but listening to what God would tell us, says Dr. Rocco A. Errico.
