The Holy Bible: From the Ancient Eastern Text is the well-known English Bible translation by George M. Lamsa, commonly called the Lamsa Bible. Basic information Translator: George M. Lamsa (1892–1975) Title: Holy Bible: From the Ancient Eastern Text Source text: The Peshitta, the traditional Syriac/Aramaic biblical text Contents: Old Testament and New Testament Original publication: 1933; a complete edition was later published by Holman in 1957. Major later edition: Harper & Row, 1985 Length: about 1,243–1,264 pages depending on edition What makes the Lamsa Bible unusual? The major distinction is that Lamsa translated the Bible from the Aramaic/Syriac Peshitta, rather than translating the New Testament primarily from the Greek textual tradition. Lamsa was a native Aramaic speaker from the Assyrian Christian tradition and believed that understanding Aramaic idioms and Near Eastern culture could illuminate difficult biblical passages. An important scholarly qualification Lamsa strongly advocated the view that the Peshitta represented the original language of the New Testament. However, this is not the dominant position in contemporary biblical scholarship. Many scholars regard the Syriac Peshitta New Testament as a translation/revision within the Syriac textual tradition, ultimately related to Greek textual traditions.
