Now, with the help of this little book, you can begin to be your own Biblical historian! You need no longer puzzle over those cryptic little footnotes in the Bible text, or rely so entirely on the Experts to tell you what the Hebrew means, or what the Greek implies: in addition, you can begin to obtain an insight into the supposedly arcane languages of the early Bible translations, whether the Syriac, a kind of “sloppy Hebrew” and the nearest thing to Aramaic – or Coptic, the uniquely evocative language of Christian Egypt, or the ancient Ethiopic of the interiorof Africa, where Writings can be found that are found nowhere else.
