• In our lessons on the history of the Aramaic New Testament, we carefully trace through the history of the Aramaic Peshitta in further detail. We will find that the Aramaic New Testament has always been there. It has been around from the very beginning. It was the version of the New Testament that was used for the early translations, such as the Armenian Bible - because no Greek New Testaments could be found in the whole of Armenia, even several centuries after Christ. The Aramaic New Testament was the main source of the Arabic Bible - around the 7th to 9th centuries A.D. As we trace through the history of the Aramaic New Testament in the west, we find that it has always been around, has always been held in the highest esteem, and has always been regarded as authentic and high quality.
