About George M. Lamsa and Rocco Errico
#14
Khati Christina,

That's been a long dream of mine as well. It would be a tremendous resource. However you may or may not be aware that the CoE has always been very resistant to translating the Peshitta into any other language, we haven't even made one in the vernacular (neo-Aramaic) that's spoken today, let alone English.

Back historically too, in China and the Islands of the Pacific these people were trained in Aramaic and mastered it, and then "targummed" in their local language for the benefit of the people.

I hate to say it, but when it comes to this issue the church is even stricter than Islam or Judaism, both of whom have sects that have sanctioned English translations for the benefit of the faithful.

That's why I'm kind of sticking with the Interlinear concept.
