If peshitta primacy is correct, then we are probably on the precipice of some kind of renaissance in not only NT studies but all related areas. Virtually no idea about the NT or the life of Jesus will be left untouched (or perhaps not overturned).
As an example (and this example could be multiplied many many times), I bought one of Bart Ehrmans <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bart_D._Ehrman">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bart_D._Ehrman</a><!-- m --> books. I bought it at the local bookstore here in Australia.
This kind of work represents not merely what religious people might be thinking about Jesus and early christians, but what the average man in the street thinks about these issues.
Virtually everything he writes about will have to be re-examined and changed in the light of peshitta primacy.
The implications are BIG.
