Wikipedia statements about Peshitta
#11
Sebastian Brock is considered the top authority on Syriac these days, as far as I know.
Him saying that Liturgical Syriac is the same dialect as the one Jesus spoke, I think it's huge. Unless that was just some sort of motivational speaking, to encourage the youngsters in that church to learn Aramaic.
If it is the same dialect, then by implication it is the same language. Liturgical Syriac, as far as I know, is nothing more than various text from Peshitta. So what he is saying in a roundbout way, the language of Peshitta is the exact language that Jesus spoke.
Chuck, Paul any comments here?
