Summary: Great insight into the Bible
Comment: Definately some great ideas on the Bible and Jesus. Sheds light on so many illogical things that never make sense to most of us. Makes the bible much more understandable and user friendly.
I learned a lot. I read this going. "oh my God, that makes perfect sense now! That's what Jesus really meant."
It's more of a spiritual seekers book than one for "strict" Christians who are not into new ideas and interpretations on the bible. Although after reading this you feel like you can't imagine how anyone ever got along without these ideas because they make so much sense.

Summary: Poor source of study for Aramaic
Comment: While the author does indeed explore the various incongruities of the Aramaic language and culture, this book is almost entirely used as an opportunity to spread Mr. Errico's own personal beliefs about the Bible, and quite liberal ones at that. No Satan, Abraham's sacrifice of Isaac - a vision only, No Eden, angels are purely metaphors. In fact after reading this book you might be inclined to believe that nothing recorded in the Bible actually happened. It is unfortunate that so many people (as most do not read Aramaic) will be swayed by the rhetoric in this book. Mr. Errico repeatedly suggests that parables are pure fiction written to convey an illustrating point only. Adam and Eve did not really exist. And yet he fails to explain if they did not exist, how can you explain the brotherhood of man? Nor does he actually support any of his theories with any facts or proof. For such an accomplished linguist, he fails to point out that idioms which are a subset of cliché's often have an original context from whence they started, thus the fact that the first set of the 10 Commandments having been written "by the finger of God" may have in fact been the origin of the idiom. He uses modern examples of idiom usage to explain historical narratives as pure idiomatic expression. This is poor academic and narrative work. The main redeeming value is to suggest to the reader there may be something more to explore when interpreting a passage of the Bible.

Summary: Truly Truly Enlightening
Comment: This book, along with "Setting a Trap for God" really opens up the Scriptures as few books are able to. Both my wife and I got goosebumps as we read the section regarding the meaning of Jesus always saying "Truly or verily, verily I say....." Highly recommended for anyone wanting a full understanding of the Scriptures!
