Syriac Studies, Peshitta and the Bible

RoundTable Talk Preview

Dr. George Anton Kiraz is one of the foremost scholars of Syriac — an ancient Aramaic language used in some branches of Eastern Christianity. He is the co-founder and editor-in-chief of Gorgias Press and a senior research associate at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton University, as well as an ordained deacon in the Syriac Orthodox Church. Dr. Kiraz’s books include A Computer-Generated Concordance to the Syriac New Testament; a Comparative Edition of the Syriac Gospels; a Grammar and a Primer of the Syriac language; and also a book about his father entitled Anton Kiraz’s Archive on the Dead Sea Scrolls. Join us in this exploration of the Syriac Peshitta (Bible versions), the importance of Syriac for many fields of knowledge, and other questions about Dr. Kiraz’s life and work.

These lectures show how little we really understand of the Scriptures. To have the Hebrew words explained in their fullness adds so much to our understanding.

“To fully understand and properly apply the scriptures we MUST know how they were understood by the original recipients. The courses at Israel Study Center allow you to peel back the layers of western tradition and uncover how the words of the Bible were understood by their original (mostly Jewish) recipients.”

Not only did these classes broaden my insight and understanding of the Gospel and of Jesus the Jew, but it also made me very sad to realize how far astray misinterpretation according to our Western values have led the Church. Thank you and LORD bless you!

I am so glad i am with Israel Bible Center, the substance, the profundity…now it adds up. Its intresting to note though that in Christendom there is a belief that when Christ came, he got rid of the torah..but no he was actually expounding from the Torah.

Just wanted to express my gratitude for this course. I have enjoyed and been challenged by the several courses I have already taken but John’s Gospel is one of my favorites. I so appreciated the fresh eyes this class has given me. God’s word and work is so amazing. Thank you!

Though I am a third generation christian, the spiritual and the revelations I receive here has no parallel. For many many years I just visited this site and did not join. I always believed there is a time for everything. I thank God for all the teachers. For me it’s Paul and Gamaliel experience.
