[MR] English translation from original Greek and Aramaic

[Gisella]

Yes. I know of a man who is extremely learned in Aramaic and the Bible and
might be a good resource for you. His name is Dr. Rocco A. Errico. He is
proficient in Aramaic and Hebrew and Biblical studies in particular. I have
heard him speak and have read "Setting a Trap for God" written by him. He is
quite fascinating. I believe that if you contact Dr. Barbara King at the
Hillside Chapel and Truth Center, she will know how to put you in touch
directly with him. 404-758-6811 or 404-758-5029 in Atlanta GA. Or
info at hillsidechapel.org. You might also be able to get in touch with him
directly through the Noohra Foundation at info at noohra.com.  He probably can
give you some very good and helpful information.

He has written quite a few books (listed below). For a sample of his
explanations of The Lords Prayer here is a link
http://www.sober.org/ForgEric.html to check out.

At this link,
http://www.aibtv.com/ECAPC_024.wmv, he provides a commentary on Mel Gibson's
movie The Passion. 

You might also try the Aramaic Bible Research Directory for more info and
links. http://www.metamind.net/aradirectory.html

His books
ARAMAIC LIGHT ON THE GOSPEL OF MATTHEW - A Commentary on the Teachings of
Jesus from the Aramaic and unchanged Near Eastern Customs 

AND THERE WAS LIGHT

THE MYSTERIES OF CREATION: THE GENESIS STORY 

THE MESSAGE OF MATTHEW: AN ANNOTATED PARALLEL ARAMAIC-ENGLISH GOSPEL OF
MATTHEW

Hope these suggestions might be of assistance to you.

Greetings People of the List,

I know there's someone out there who's got the answer to this question.

I'm trying to find an English translation of the Bible that comes from the 
original Greek. I'm trying to get to a version that's more accurate than a 
version that came through the Middle Ages with all the additions and 
deletions done by monks copying the text over and over (see: King James).

Does anybody know about a modern scholar who has gone back and retranslated 
a version from Greek? I'm looking for something that is true to the original

writing without any particular Christian church's specific values 
highlighted.

I know about the author who translated the first books of the Torah from the

original. However, I'm more interested in the New Testament.

Can anyone point me in a direction?

Thanks,

Amie Sparrow
