THE SCRIPTURES THROUGH NEAR EASTERN EYES
A talk given by Rocco A. Errico, Ph.D., Th.D
ordained minister, international lecturer and author, spiritual counselor and one of the nation's leading Biblical scholars
Saturday, January 27th at 10 a.m.
 
    In this unique and unusual lecture on the Holy Bible, Dr. Errico builds a bridge between our Western ways of understanding and the Middle Eastern Social realities that are embedded in the Bible. He helps us to see the Scriptures through Semitic, Aramaic eyes---in its original language that the Hebrew patriarchs, prophets, Jesus, his disciples, and contemporaries spoke, taught, and wrote. As much as possible bypassing doctrinal creeds and rigid interpretations, Dr. Errico presents a broader understanding of Scripture without the restrictions of literal explanations. The meanings of the Bible's key stories were always simple and uncomplicated. He reveals how this all began in the early 1800s by a Presbyterian medical doctor and missionary in northern Iraq, discovering a region where the most ancient Near Eastern customs and language were kept including rare manuscripts of the New Testament.
Dr. Errico is an ordained minister, international lecturer and author, spiritual counselor, and one of the nation's leading Biblical scholars working from the original Aramaic Peshitta texts. For ten years he studied intensively with Dr. George M. Lamsa, Th.D., (1890-1975), world-renowned Assyrian biblical scholar and translator of the Holy Bible from the Ancient Eastern Text. Dr. Errico is proficient in Aramaic and Hebrew exegesis, helping thousands of readers and seminar participants understand how the Semitic context of culture, language, idioms, symbolism, mystical style, psychology, and literary amplification—the Seven Keys that unlock the Bible—are essential to understanding this ancient spiritual document.
