Synopsis

"Signs of the Cross" is the first book intended to restore the full meaning of the life and teachings of Jesus through the insights of his native language. Now Aramaic understanding can, for the first time in 2000 years, reveal the original Jewish centered vision of Christianity.

Author Biography: Andrew Gabriel Roth has been studying Hebrew and Aramaic since the age of 5 and has steadily nursed an interest in biblical Greek since the early 1980s. While active in Semitic studies throughout his college years, Mr. Roth later became a Messianic Jew, and has spent the last two decades studying the Hebrew and Aramaic connections to the New Testament. Since that time, Mr. Roth also has become a frequent contributor to the Aramaic Bible Society, and was recently given the role of editor for the Aramaic journal Beth Gaza. Additionally, his long-term association with the Society for the Advancement of Nazarene Judaism (SANJ) also resulted in him being offered the position of Chairman of the Semitic Language Department at the National Nazarene Yeshiva. Mr. Roth is married, and lives near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

August 04, 2001: 2,000 years of Hellenistic influence in the Western Church have nearly eclipsed the Semitic understanding of the Messiah, once so important in the early Church. Mr. Roth, a Jewish scholar and student of both Hebrew and Aramaic, masterfully recreates and examines critical issues involving the Messianic Jewish perspective of the Messiah, as well as the Semitic linguistic underpinnings of the New Testament. In this book, Mr. Roth presents powerful new evidence for Aramaic primacy - demonstrating time and again how the Greek New Testament formed from an Aramaic original - the language of Jesus Christ and His Apostles, and the language in which the Gospel was first preached. Suitable for scholar and layman alike, 'Signs of the Cross' will change your perspective of the history and message of Christianity.
