Can we have Heaven On Earth?Evidently Jesus thought so. And so did Dr. George M. Lamsa, author of The Kingdom of Heaven on Earth and translator of the Bible from Aramaic into English. In this “prose” work, Dr. Lamsa takes you back in time to the ancient Semitic Near East and delves into the hearts and minds of the people and their cultural environment, as they sat on the hillside overlooking the Sea of Galilee listening to Jesus.These were people who were oppressed under Roman rule and corrupt religious authorities in Jerusalem. Dr. Lamsa reveals the blessings that Jesus bestowed upon the faithful, that they might have “heaven on earth."Written in 1966, Dr. Lamsa contrasts the world then with the world of Jesus 2000 years ago. And, ironically, our world today is not much different.This work is “prose,” not chapter and verse, written in the descriptive, expressive style of the ancient Near East. It provides a refreshing look at “The Beatitudes,” the foundation for The Kingdom of Heaven on Earth -- living with love, peace, joy and harmony in a chaotic world. You will develop an understanding that it is possible to have “Heaven on Earth” even in our world today.Also included is a brief biography of the author, Dr. George M. Lamsa, and his experiences, all of which demonstrate The Kingdom of Heaven On Earth.
