MessageDear Mr. Lancaster,

I've been reading much of your book 'Was The New
Testament Really Written In Greek?', lately.

I want you to know that I'm very thankful to you and to God, that you provided this free resource, to us all.

Your book is simply wonderful, and a Godsend!

Thanks for your help, Shlama, Alfred

Message(cont.)

This book should be read and seriously considered by any student of the scriptures. Chris has done an excellent job in his task, and he has done it for free. Being of poor finances, it does my heart good to know that there are still others in this world who will feed without thought of monetary gain. And that is what makes all of the difference. I am reminded of what is written in the scroll of Isaiah, “Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.”

I am thankful to Chris for freely sharing; may the Lord God reward him graciously.

MessageVictor Alexander misleads people, but Christopher Lancaster leads people toward a much clearer picture of the New Testament. Chris goes by Aramaic scripture to continue the challenge of presumptions made of this day's status quo in a similar way to what Martin Luther had began in the 1500's (by challenging the authenticity and accuracy of the Latin Vulgate). If Martin Luther had Chris Lancaster's Aramaic resources, the Reformation perhaps would have gone a little smoother, and there may have not been so many splits and differences in the Body of Christ today. I firmly believe that Chris's work is a unifying force not only in the Body of Christ, but in the Judeo-Christian tree.

Carry on Chris!

Gordon Jenkins

Blessings and Peace

MessageI had been aware of the Peshitta for a number of years, and had used it in my studies as well. Even though I was aware of the antiquity of the book, I had no idea that it was considered by many to be the original language of the New Testament scriptures. That all changed while searching for a copy of the Peshitta online and stumbling across Chris' website. What I found there was a little book that would challenge everything I had known about the language in which the New Testament was penned. Like so many others, I had always just assumed that the New Testament was written in Greek. Why not? I had been told so by others for many years, and knew of no opposing arguments.

Chris' book set those arguments before me. These were not the arguments of a weak position, but of a position so strong that I had to wonder why I had never before heard of Aramaic Peshitta primacy. Chris' book compiles arguments for Peshitta primacy, sending them out one by one as solitary scouts until, by the closing chapters, the reader is quickly aware that these small scouts have come together into battalions, marching against the entrenched walls of traditional assumption. As with the walls of old Jericho, the walls of Greek primacy will fall down flat.

MessageHello Mr. Lancaster

Great job!!

I am Greek and a practicing Greek Orthodox Christian and although I've really only been exposed to the Greek version of the Bible I like to have an open mind about the importance of the Aramaic language to the early Christian community and the Bible. I do believe that at least most of the new testament was first penned and preserved in Aramaic and that since the near east at that time was within the hellenistic world, Greek was the first language after Aramaic that the bible was translated into. It's too bad Aramaic didn't remain as a liturgical language at least for the Eastern Orthodox Church.

As a Greek even I admit that there are many odd contradictions to the Greek text of the NT. Mr. Lancaster's great Book sheds real light on the Aramaic language of the NT and our Aramaic speaking brethren of the Near East.

GOOD LUCK with your book

Shlama and geia sou

Basil

MessageI have downloaded and read your book about Aramaic primacy. That is really an eye opener. Thank you for your kindness and encouragement.

Your book is really a blessing to me that gives a lot of solid evidences and valid reasoning about the originality of the Peshitta/Peshitto Aramaic New Testament. I believe this movement is part of God's restitutions of all things as prophesized in the scriptures. Praise the Lord!
