Aramaic Light on Ezra through the Song of Solomon is a unique commentary based on the Aramaic language and ancient Near Eastern customs. The commentary carries you back 2700 years, providing an unusual perspective and insight into the books of Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther, Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes and the Song of Solomon. The book is not a verse by verse commentary but one that offers the reader understanding into many of the difficult passages of Scripture.

This inimitable commentary acts as a Near Eastern guide, revealing to the Western mind a more intimate picture of the socio-religious, Semitic culture and psychological environment of the various periods. Its approach is simple, informative, and scholarly without using specialized theological terminology and is an easy read for everyone.

Dr. Errico and Dr. Lamsa unlock and clarify many misunderstood passages in the biblical, religious history of Israel. They also open the way to comprehend the ancient Hebrew folk songs known as the Psalms, the wisdom of the Near East known as the Proverbs, the startling answers to the sufferings of Job and why good people suffer, the endearing love writings in the Song of Solomon, and the epic tale of Esther.

This volume is not just a revision of Dr. Lamsa's Old Testament Light commentary, 1964. Dr. Errico has edited, expanded, and annotated the previous comments. In addition the book now contains unpublished material that the two of them had only drafted prior to Dr. Lamsa's death in September of 1975. Dr. Errico completed these comments, adding information derived from his studies with Dr. Lamsa and continual research in Aramaic word meanings and Near Eastern Semitic Studies.
