Dear forum at large:
I read in the preface to TWI's 'Concordance to the Peshitta Version of th Aramaic NT" the following:
'[Eastern Aramaic] is related to, but not identical with, the Palestinian Aramaic spoken by Jesus and the writers of the New Testament. In recent times some scholars have demonstrated that a Palestinian Aramaic original lies behind the Greek versions of New Testament documents."
Can anyone point me to the research TWI is mentioning here? I'd like to read it. Which scholars assert the above? Where can I read about their findings?
Thanks, JHGUYNN.
