Aramaic Jesus
The Aramaic Words of Yeshua
Re-explored for Personal Awakening and World Peace
The purpose of this website is to support, promote, and accelerate repairing of the self and world. It is particularly directed to those affected by any one and all of the Abrahamic faiths — primarily Judaism, Christianity, and Islam — or by cultures that draw from same.
Here, through exploring the native Aramaic words of the man known as Eshoa, Yeshua, Joshua, Iesous, Issa, Jesus, we re-establish and celebrate the continuity of wisdom traditions from the Near East.
Our interpreters — including Tomas, Rachmana, Dr. Rocco Errico, and Dr. George Lamsa — have each brought unique gifts to this work.
Since the languages at the heart of the three Abrahamic religions are all Semitic, words often share common “roots” — a two or three letter core which carries the essential meaning. By exploring these roots, we find that the essential messages at the heart of each faith are the same.
