An Aramaic Approach to the Gospels and Acts. With an Appendix on The Son of Man
Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1967. Third edition. Softcover. Octavo. X, 359, [1]pp. Original printed wrappers on blue cloth with gold lettering and printer's device on spine. The New Testament was preserved in Greek, but the events narrated in the Gospels and part of Acts took place in a largely Aramaic-speaking environment. Matthew Black therefore begins with the hypothesis that the material contained in these books was spoken or written in Aramaic. Black surveys the New Testament for Aramaic grammatical features (syntax, grammar, and vocabulary), poetic features (parallelism, alliteration), and other linguistic evidence that the New Testament text was translated from Aramaic. He uses this approach to shed light on difficult passages from the Gospels and Acts. Wrappers slightly age-toned. Wraps in overall good, binding and interior in very good condition. vg. Item #31133
