New Testament Origin
Dr. Lamsa presents provocative theories surrounding the origin and development of the New Testament writings. His research challendes long-held assumptions in Western scholarship, such as his discoveries that the New Testament was first written in Aramaic; not Greek. Matthew was the earliest Godpel writer, recording the words of Christ while He was bodily present on Earth. Mark, Luke & Paul were born in the years following Jesus' death, and were not contemporaries of Jesis. Dr. Lamsa offers a historical overview on the transmission of the Aramaic New Testament texts, and "New Testament Origin" is an invaluable resource for both students and scholars.

Absolutely fascinating! I don't agree with some of Lamsa's arguments, but I've never heard of his perspective before. At all. Through years of seminary and continued education, what Lamsa presents as an Aramaic speaker about the history and evolution of the Bible is... well, I'd say mind-blowing, but I don't want to seem like I was previously uneducated. Truly a worthwhile read.
