 Fantastic!!! November 7, 2007
Unlike any other Bible. This is the Bible translated directly from the original language of the disciples. An invaluable translation of the Word.

The title ''alludes'' to this book being authorized by at least one of the Eastern Churches by saying, 'The Authorized Bible of the Church of the East'. Is this the beginning of a lot of disinformation?
It would seem so as Hebrew was most likely used for Mathew and the book of Hebrews and the rest of the NT written in Greek. Which Greek makes sense, since St. Paul was from Tarsus and the lingua franca of the day was Greek. If you want to write to people in different areas you would write Greek for mass appeal... especially since most of the letters were sent to modern day Turkey and Greece!
As well as Hebrew makes sense, but that should be self explanitory.
However, I can understand personal bias, this is obviously what the author believes. But, back to my original complaint lets go back to the title. It alludes to being authorized by some church in the east... but is missing books from the Old Testament!
Now that is too much disinformation and personal bias for me...
GIVE ME A BREAK!!!
Good Bible June 20, 2007
Lamsa has given us a great Bible. The aramaic brings clarity to passages that either didn't make sense, or seemed to contradict other passages in the my KJV bible. This bible will never replace my Companion Bible of the KJV by E.W. Bullinger, but it's a tremendous resource, and an outstanding translation.

Going directly to the source is always the most reliable. When you can't understand the source, then a translator who shares the native tongue of the source is next best. Awesome translation.
Now, this is a Bible! March 19, 2007

If you are looking for KJV or NIV, you will be sorely disappointed. This books comes from the ancient language in its translation and in doing so gives a new light on the scriptural message. Well worth the read.
