The Aramaic Bible
Overview
The 26 essays in The Aramaic Bible represent the papers read at the international conference on the Aramiac Bible held in Dublin in 1992. The purpose of the conference was to bring together leading specialists on the Targums and related topics to discuss issues in the light of recent developments. For example, Second Temple interpretation of the Scriptures, Qumran Literature, targumic and Palestinian Aramaic, new Genizah manuscripts, Jewish tradition, Origen’s Hexapla, Pseudepigrapha, Apocrypha and the Christian West. The papers are arranged under seven headings: Targum Texts and Editions; The Aramaic Language: The Targums and Jewish Biblical Interpretation; Targums of the Pentateuch; Targums of the Hagiographa; Targums and New Testament; Jewish Traditions and Christian Writings.
With Logos Bible Software, The Aramaic Bible is completely searchable, with passages of Scripture appearing on mouseover, as well as being linked to your favorite Bible translation in your library. This makes these texts more powerful and easier to access than ever before for scholarly work or personal Bible study. With the advanced search features of Logos Bible Software, you can perform powerful searches by topic or Scripture reference—finding, for example, every mention of “tradition,” or “justification.”
