The Aramaic Origin of the Fourth Gospel

By Charles Fox Burney

Subjects: Criticism, interpretation, Textual Criticism, Bible. N.T. John., Aramaic literature, Sources, Relation to the New Testament, Aramaic language, Bible, Texts

Description: An attempt to prove that the Gospel according to St John was a literal Greek translation of a Gospel written in Aramaic by a Jewish disciple. This at least led to an accepted view that the author thought in Aramaic, and strengthened the probability that it was the work of an eyewitness.
