My Neighbor Jesus - In the Light of His Own Language, People and Time

More about the book

Through the lens of his Assyrian heritage, the author offers a unique perspective on Jesus, drawing from the rich cultural and linguistic traditions of the Assyrian people, who are the oldest existing Christian Church. Living in a region of Iraq, these Christians maintain an unbroken lineage to early Christianity and speak Aramaic, the language of Jesus. The author's deep understanding of ancient customs and neglected Aramaic manuscripts allows him to illuminate the historical figure of Jesus, clarifying complex passages that have puzzled scholars.
