Publisher's Synopsis
""The Words of Jesus: Considered in the Light of Post-Biblical Jewish Writings and the Aramaic Language"" is a scholarly work written by Gustaf Dalman in 1902. The book focuses on the teachings of Jesus and how they can be better understood through a study of post-biblical Jewish writings and the Aramaic language. Dalman argues that understanding the language and culture of Jesus' time is crucial to fully comprehending his teachings. He delves into the history of the Aramaic language, which was the language spoken by Jesus and his followers, and analyzes its various dialects. He also examines Jewish texts from the Second Temple period, such as the Talmud and the Midrash, to shed light on the religious and cultural context in which Jesus lived and taught.The book is divided into three parts. The first part provides an overview of the Aramaic language and its various dialects. The second part explores post-biblical Jewish writings and how they can help us understand Jesus' teachings. The third part examines specific teachings of Jesus and how they can be better understood in light of the Aramaic language and post-biblical Jewish writings.Overall, ""The Words of Jesus"" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the teachings of Jesus in their historical and cultural context. Dalman's scholarship and attention to detail make this book a must-read for biblical scholars and anyone interested in the history of Christianity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
