New Testament Origin George M. Lamsa 1st Ed. the Aramaic Bible Society 2004 edition

Dr. Lamsa presents provocative theories surrounding the origin and development of the New Testament writings. His research challendes long-held assumptions in Western scholarship, such as his discoveries that the New Testament was first written in Aramaic; not Greek. Matthew was the earliest Godpel writer, recording the words of Christ while He was bodily present on Earth. Mark, Luke & Paul were born in the years following Jesus' death, and were not contemporaries of Jesis. Dr. Lamsa offers a historical overview on the transmission of the Aramaic New Testament texts, and "New Testament Origin" is an invaluable resource for both students and scholars.
