Bücher von Maurice (University of Nottingham) Casey

This is the first book to examine the Aramaic dimension of Q since the Aramaic Dead Sea scrolls made such work more feasible. Maurice Casey reconstructs and interprets the Aramaic sources, raising the level of proof that Jesus said and did some of the things attributed in our earliest sources.

This 1999 book goes behind the Greek text of the Gospel of Mark and reconstructs some of its sources in the original Aramaic, the language which Jesus spoke. This work has been made possible by the publication of all the Aramaic Dead Sea Scrolls, which provide a basis of Jewish Aramaic for the right period.
