The Bible in Arabic
Author: Sidney H. Griffith
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 0691168083
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
From the first centuries of Islam to well into the Middle Ages, Jews and Christians produced hundreds of manuscripts containing portions of the Bible in Arabic. Until recently, however, these translations remained largely neglected by Biblical scholars and historians. In telling the story of the Bible in Arabic, this book casts light on a crucial transition in the cultural and religious life of Jews and Christians in Arabic-speaking lands. In pre-Islamic times, Jewish and Christian scriptures circulated orally in the Arabic-speaking milieu. After the rise of Islam--and the Qur'an's appearance as a scripture in its own right--Jews and Christians translated the Hebrew Bible and the Greek New Testament into Arabic for their own use and as a response to the Qur'an's retelling of Biblical narratives. From the ninth century onward, a steady stream of Jewish and Christian translations of the Hebrew Bible and New Testament crossed communal borders to influence the Islamic world. The Bible in Arabic offers a new frame of reference for the pivotal place of Arabic Bible translations in the religious and cultural interactions between Jews, Christians, and Muslims.

Old Testament Scriptures
Author: Victor Alexander
Publisher: CreateSpace
ISBN: 9781517630096
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 756
Book Description
As I translated the Old Testament Scriptures from the Ancient Aramaic language, I discovered that these stories were the spiritual evolution for those people who would be transformed by the coming of Eashoa Msheekha (Jesus the Messiah) to the world two thousand years ago. Each book of the Scriptures was a prophetic journey for the followers of Eashoa Msheekha. When Eashoa came to the world, He gathered around him many disciples, out of which he chose twelve to be his torch carriers. One of the twelve was Judah of Iscariot who would betray him. This betrayal was anticipated, because Eashoa understood the nature of the human being when dealing with money: Judah of Iscariot was the purse keeper of the disciples and he took care of their finances. This led to his taking matters into his own hands as he made preparations for the survival of the group after Eashoa was going to be seized and killed - as Eashoa had told them that this would befall him - as it was prophesied. This practical sense of those who believe in money as the basis for survival, is what brings about most the betrayals of what is good in this world. In every group there are those individuals who will be swayed by evil; Satan assumed the role of misleading those people who love fame, money and power more than their creator, (who is known in the Aramaic language as Allaha and in English as God.) The religious establishment today is no different than the high priests, scribes and elders of the Hebrew people at the time of Eashoa. They were more devoted to their financial positions than the Scriptures. That is why the religious leadership with the power in Jerusalem, and protected by the Roman Empire, did not recognize Eashoa as the Messiah. They were possessed by Satan and did not interpret the Scriptures according to the Ancient Aramaic language; they chose instead other versions of the Scriptures as kept by the Essenes and other sects, such as the Pharisees and the Sadducees. And following the crucifixion of Eashoa they distorted the Scriptures some more to obliterate the prophecies that led directly to the recognition of Eashoa as the Messiah. In the same way today, the religious establishments have chosen other versions of the Bible, those that are not translated from the Ancient Aramaic language, the language that Eashoa Msheekha spoke, wrote, and read the Scriptures from. The Western Bibles, translated from the Hebrew Old Testament, the Greek Septuagint, and the Latin Vulgate (together with all their translations) are not consistent with the Ancient Aramaic Scriptures of the Ancient Church of the East. This is why I'm translating the original Scriptures, those that Eashoa Msheekha (Jesus the Messiah) read from when He walked the earth. You can read for the first time the real stories of the Old Testament and how they led to a clear identification of the Messiah who came two thousand years ago. You can now grow through the spiritual evolution of the Old Testament stories as they prophesied about the coming of Maran Eashoa Msheekha (our Lord Jesus the Messiah.)

Book Description
"Magisterial. . . . A learned, brilliant and enjoyable study."—Géza Vermès, Times Literary Supplement In this exciting book, Paula Fredriksen explains the variety of New Testament images of Jesus by exploring the ways that the new Christian communities interpreted his mission and message in light of the delay of the Kingdom he had preached. This edition includes an introduction reviews the most recent scholarship on Jesus and its implications for both history and theology. "Brilliant and lucidly written, full of original and fascinating insights."—Reginald H. Fuller, Journal of the American Academy of Religion "This is a first-rate work of a first-rate historian."—James D. Tabor, Journal of Religion "Fredriksen confronts her documents—principally the writings of the New Testament—as an archaeologist would an especially rich complex site. With great care she distinguishes the literary images from historical fact. As she does so, she explains the images of Jesus in terms of the strategies and purposes of the writers Paul, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John."—Thomas D’Evelyn, Christian Science Monitor

Theological Dicitonary of the Old Testament
Author: G. Johannes Botterweck
Publisher: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing
ISBN: 9780802823250
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 510
Book Description
This multivolume work is still proving to be as fundamental to Old Testament studies as its companion set, the Kittel-Friedrich Theological Dictionary of the New Testament, has been to New Testament studies. Beginning with father, and continuing through the alphabet, the TDOT volumes present in-depth discussions of the key Hebrew and Aramaic words in the Old Testament. Leading scholars of various religious traditions (including Roman Catholic, Lutheran, Reformed, Anglican, Greek Orthodox, and Jewish) and from many parts of the world (Denmark, France, Germany, Great Britain, Greece, Israel, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United States) have been carefully selected for each article by editors Botterweck, Ringgren, and Fabry and their consultants, George W. Anderson, Henri Cazelles, David Noel Freedman, Shemaryahu Talmon, and Gerhard Wallis. The intention of the writers is to concentrate on meaning, starting from the more general, everyday senses and building to an understanding of theologically significant concepts. To avoid artificially restricting the focus of the articles, TDOT considers under each keyword the larger groups of words that are related linguistically or semantically. The lexical work includes detailed surveys of a word s occurrences, not only in biblical material but also in other ancient Near Eastern writings. Sumerian, Akkadian, Egyptian, Ethiopic, Ugaritic, and Northwest Semitic sources are surveyed, among others, as well as the Qumran texts and the Septuagint; and in cultures where no cognate word exists, the authors often consider cognate ideas. TDOT s emphasis, though, is on Hebrew terminology and on biblical usage. The contributors employ philology as well as form-critical and traditio-historical methods, with the aim of understanding the religious statements in the Old Testament. Extensive bibliographical information adds to the value of this reference work. This English edition attempts to serve the needs of Old Testament students without the linguistic background of more advanced scholars; it does so, however, without sacrificing the needs of the latter. Ancient scripts (Hebrew, Greek, etc.) are regularly transliterated in a readable way, and meanings of foreign words are given in many cases where the meanings might be obvious to advanced scholars. Where the Hebrew text versification differs from that of English Bibles, the English verse appears in parentheses. Such features will help all earnest students of the Bible to avail themselves of the manifold theological insights contained in this monumental work.
