The Shepherd of All: The Twenty-third Psalm

Overview

In The Shepherd of All, George M. Lamsa brings an understanding to Psalm 23 that could only come from the first-hand experience of the Bible-land shepherd. Dr. Lamsa is primarily remembered for his momentous accomplishments in the field of translating Biblical Aramaic. But Lamsa's unique background enabled him to contribute to Biblical research in another powerful way. Born in the remote, unchanged lands located in the basin of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, he grew up in a culture where the customs, manners, and idioms, as well as the language of the Bible itself had been preserved throughout the centuries. Lamsa was raised in a family of shepherds, the occupation of his ancestors for generations. And from that understanding of the life, ways, and heart of the shepherd of the East, the reader comes to know the heart of the good shepherd like never before.

Meet the Author

By virtue of his birth place, linguistic ability, and his scholarly achievements, George M. Lamsa was ideally suited to accomplish his outstanding contribution to the field of Biblical research. As all serious students of the Bible know, no one particular version of the Bible may accurately be called THE Word of God as originally given by God. In order to arrive at an accurate understanding of certain scriptural passages, one must at times examine various translations of the Bible, as well as the underlying original, ancient Biblical languages. Lamsa’s pioneering work, including the notable Holy Bible from Ancient Eastern Manuscripts, provided invaluable resources for Biblical scholars and kindled a widespread interest in the long neglected, yet crucial, primary Aramaic texts. Dr. Lamsa dedicated his life to the work of translating the ancient texts into English and traveling the country to generate awareness and interest in Aramaic. Called by God, and encouraged by hundreds who heard him speak in churches, seminaries, and lecture halls; he labored for over 30 years to translate the entire Old and New Testaments. His first work in Aramaic translations, Four Gospels, was published in 1933; followed byNew Testament According to the Eastern Text in 1940. His culminating work, Holy Bible from Ancient Eastern Manuscripts in 1956, presented a translation of the Aramaic texts into easily understood modern English based upon the wording style of the King James Version. He also wrote several other books, including commentaries describing the customs and manners of early Christians.
