Aramaic Light on Joshua through 2 Chronicles is a unique commentary based on the Aramaic language and ancient Near Eastern customs. It carries you back 3000 years, providing an unusual perspective and insight into the books of Joshua, Judges, Ruth, 1st and 2nd Samuel, 1st and 2nd Kings, 1st and 2nd Chronicles. The book is not a verse by verse commentary but one that offers understanding of many difficult passages of Scripture.This inimitable commentary acts as a Near Eastern guide, revealing to the Western mind a more intimate picture of the Semitic mysticism and psychological environment of the various periods. Its approach is simple, informative, and scholarly, without using specialized theological terminology.Dr. Errico and Dr. Lamsa unlock and clarify many misunderstood passages in the biblical, religious history of Israel. They also open the way to comprehend the mysteries of the schools of the prophets, Joshua's miracles of crossing the Jordan, the collapse of the walls of Jericho, commanding the sun and moon to stand still, the leadership of Gideon, the prophetess Deborah, the real power behind Samson's strength, the prophet Samuel, the secrets of Elijah and Elisha and more.This volume is not just a revision of Dr. Lamsa's Old Testament Light commentary, 1964. Dr. Errico has edited, expanded, and annotated the previous comments. In addition the book contains unpublished material that the two of them had only drafted prior to Dr. Lamsa's death in September of 1975. Dr. Errico completed these comments, adding information derived from his studies with Dr. Lamsa and continual research in Aramaic word meanings and Near Eastern Semitic Studies.
