- But here is where it gets even more interesting. As the Gospel message was taken east, it was the Aramaic Peshitta New Testament that was taken east. It was not the Greek New Testament! Even to this day, those Churches in the east trace their early history back to the Aramaic New Testament, to the disciples who brought it to them. This is completely new to the vast majority of people in the west today! Most people in the west today don’t know anything about the Gospel spreading east! Half the story is blanked out!
- In the west, the history is a little more blurred. The early history, as we shall see all throughout this website, is very much that the Aramaic New Testament was what was originally available. But very early on, the Aramaic was translated into Greek. And since then, the west has become so familiar with the Greek New Testament, that most people in the west in these last days, simply have no idea that an Aramaic New Testament even exists!
