Shalom Chaverim,
Great progress has been made in recent years in the area of Restoring the
original Hebrew/Aramaic
"New Testament" to the public. For me this has been a
journey that began some 17 years ago. When I first came to accept
Yeshua as the Messiah at the age of 18 (prior to which I had practiced
Rabbinic Judaism) I knew that our (Jewish) people did not write religious
literature in Greek during the first century. I set out on a trek
to discover any viable Hebrew or Aramaic NT manuscripts. I soon
found that my theory of a Semitic original for the New Testament was more
than a hypothesis but was a fact for which full verification was
available. I soon uncovered the existence of ancient Aramaic
manuscripts of most of the New Testament (except for 2Pt.; 2&3 Jn.
and Jude) and some Hebrew copies of Matthew (and more recently Hebrew
Hebrews).
In 1990 I published my first edition of Hebrew (DuTillet) Matthew.
In 1996 I first laid out the overwhelming evidence in support of a
Hebrew/Aramaic Original of the New Testament in my book THE SEMITIC
ORIGIN OF THE NEW TESTAMENT. Just last year, after several years of
work and a great deal of encouragement from a growing body of supporters
of this idea I published the HEBRAIC-ROOTS VERSION of the New Testament,
a new Messianic translation of the New Testament taken from these Hebrew
and Aramaic manuscripts with a detailed introduction and with 1738
footnotes. (see http://www.nazarene.net/hrv )
The release of the HRV New Testament last year led to criticism from
certain quarters. Did not this new theory of Hebrew/Aramaic NT
origins ignore an entire body of Greek NT Textual Criticism which
"proves" a Greek origin for the New Testament? In
response to this new line of criticism I have begun posting an on-line
book on Hebrew/Aramaic Textual Criticism which answers these objections
and raises the bar a notch further. This new book shows how Hebrew
Matthew and the Old Syriac Gospels agree closely with the oldest most
primitive Greek text type (which I show to be the so-called
"Western" type of Codex D). I show that this Greek text
type is filled with Semitisms and can be plainly shown to be a
translation from the original Aramaic represented in the Old Syriac
Aramaic Version. I further demonstrate how the other Greek text
types represent a revision of this primitive Greek away from the awkward
Semitic grammar and idiom of the Western text toward a more pleasing
Greek idiom. (you can see it by going to
http://www.nazarene.net/hantri and clicking on "Hebrew/Aramaic
Textual Criticism)
Our position is not a flimsy, whimsical, populist notion which breaks
down under more detailed scholarly examination. It is not the
musings of armchair scholars. It is a detailed comprehensive system
which is defendable on even the highest of academic levels.
Yet this is only the beginning. This is only the laying of a
foundation. Now the building can begin.
So what is next?
Printed editions of the actual Hebrew and Aramaic texts in a single
volume. This is especially needed for Messianic/Nazarene scholars
and leaders as well as for the believers in Israel.
Concordances and interlinear editions keyed to word numbers (and cross
keyed to Strong's word numbers) for use by the layman.
A new generation of commentaries and other books which will include word
studies from original Hebrew and Aramaic text of the New
Testament.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg.
But to accomplish all of these things we need your help.
