Aramaic Bible Tools is focused on studying the Syriac New Testament in all its forms. History, theology and text of the Syriac Tradition are of great interest. Any study aid to do that are of interest. The Bible and Biblical tradition that touch the Eastern, Persian and near east tradition share a common New Testament text.

Announcing the "Gospel Parallel: A Comparison" -- Just Published
I am happy to announce that "Gospel Parallel: A Comparison" is finished and available on Amazon.com. Here it is if you would like to look at it. To many, the price tag ($49.99) is too high for the complete Parallel New Testament, so I went ahead and produced the Gospel Parallel. It is only $19.99. If you would like a free sample of the Parallel New Testament (3 John), it is freely available on my website and at this link. You can get updates on my Facebook page here.

I just finished publishing my "Parallel New Testament"
Dear Friend of the Bible,
I am excited to announce this! I recently just finished publishing my "Parallel New Testament: Comparing Three Popular Translations" You can order it here. You can also check out my website and get a free sample here. Please like and share this with all your friends.
"The motivation and the genesis of the Parallel New Testament and the Aramaic Bible Tools website grew out of two things, my frustration with the lack of English resources for the study of Syriac and the superficial nature of a vast majority of the resources that are out there. This is my way to address these two problems. I am specifically targeting the English language public and will focus on Syriac resources that explain the Syriac text of the New Testament. Included here are English language resources which explain to the layman in an understandable way what the text says. The most basic place to start is the Bible and the text of the Syriac Bible. I specifically wanted to start with the New Testament text of the Syriac New Testament. That is why, included here are the translations of J.W. Etheridge, James Murdoch and George Lamsa. These three English translations from the Syriac text have been time tested and are generally straightforward and easy to understand."
I would love to get you comments and questions.
Graciously Yours,
Steve Ulrich

"A Parallel New Testament: Comparing Three Popular Translations in Parallel Columns"
Three translations in one easy to use volume.
Parallel columns for quick, easy reading and study
Complete New Testament translated from the Syriac sources
Accurate, convenient comparison of three translations
• Do you get confused when you start to read the Bible?
• Are there too many translations?
• Do you need clarity and simplicity?
Read the New Testament that started it all. It's called the 'Simple' New Testament. Here it is presented in three easy translations. This is "A Parallel New Testament: Comparing Three Popular Translations in Parallel Columns". The three translations are J. W. Etheridge's "English Translation of the Peschito", James Murdock's "New Testament Translation from the Syriac Peshito" and George Lamsa's "New Testament according to the Eastern Text". Each of these translations was placed beside each other for easy comparison. The word "peschito", "peshito" or "peshitta" means "simple" or "straight-forward". The Etheridge, Murdock and Lamsa translations were made directly from the Syriac text. The Author's footnotes were also included. Immerse yourself in the simple words of Scripture and bring clarity to life through the Parallel New Testament.
