Two books in one. Book 1 - Idioms in the Bible Explained contains over 800 idioms and colloquialisms of Eastern speech. Example: ""Lot's wife became a pillar of salt"" means she suffered a stroke, became paralyzed and died. Book 2 - A Key to the Original Gospels. Dr. Lamsa explains how the gospels were written, the reason for two different genealogies, conflicting stories of Jesus' birth, and more.
The twenty-third Psalm, considered by many to be the most meaningful psalm in the Bible, is brought to life in a most vivid manner. Based on his own personal experience as a shepherd, Dr. Lamsa interprets this beautiful and moving psalm in the light of Eastern biblical customs.
A brief biography of Dr. George M. Lamsa, translator of The Holy Bible from the Ancient Eastern Text. This biography was dictated by Dr. Lamsa and has an introduction by Dr. Rocco A. Errico, who was tutored by and worked with him for 10 years. In his introduction, Dr. Errico says: "I am sure you will be delighted as I was to read Dr. Lamsa's brief life story. It grants us insight into the psychology and simplicity of Near Eastern thinking . . . Dr. George M Lamsa was a man of God--whom I always referred to as a prophet from Assyrian. Through his life and work he gave to the world an everlasting legacy that will never pass away."
