It shocks western Christians sometimes to realize Jesus isn't American and didn't speak English. Neil Douglas-Klotz, PHD has written about Jesus through the language or Aramaic, which was Jesus' actual native tongue.
The book is an approach to Jesus’s recorded words and teachings to answer many questions clearly and consistently, even if unexpectedly, no matter which Gospel one has in their hands.
Paul and Ashley discuss with Dr. Klotz why Aramaic’s multiple meanings can provide revelation and even transformation through the way of the prophet of Nazareth. It shows how Jesus’s deepest teachings address contemporary challenges, such as our relationships with nature and each other, as well as the purpose of life itself. 🎧 Thank you for listening to Evangelicalish!
