Summary
A new translation of the Aramaic Peshitta New Testament based on the United Bible Societies text with explanatory footnotes marking variant readings with the Old Syriac, Eastern text and other Peshitta manuscripts, footnotes about cultural understanding, and a system of abbreviations that mark idioms and figures of speech so that they are easily recognizable. The translation is as literal as possible, but with readable English, giving the flavor and rhythm of the Eastern language. Aramaic is the language of the first century and the Peshitta is the earliest complete manuscript of the New Testament.
