Jesus-Jeshua

"Jesus-Jeshua: Studies in the Gospels" is a profound scholarly investigation into the linguistic and cultural foundations of the New Testament. Gustaf Dalman, a preeminent expert in Aramaic and the historical geography of Palestine, explores the life and teachings of Jesus by reconnecting them to his original Semitic environment. By analyzing the linguistic nuances of the Aramaic language as it was spoken in the first century, Dalman provides invaluable insights into the specific meanings behind the words and parables found in the Gospels.

This work meticulously examines the transition from the Hebrew and Aramaic thought-world to the Greek text of the New Testament. Through chapters focusing on the Passover, the Last Supper, and the various titles attributed to Jesus, the author reconstructs the historical and social context of the biblical narrative. "Jesus-Jeshua" remains a foundational text for students of biblical philology, historical theology, and the quest for the historical Jesus, offering a bridge between the ancient Near Eastern world and the foundational documents of Christianity. It is an essential resource for those seeking to understand the Gospels within their authentic historical and linguistic setting.
