Aramaic Bible Perspectives is dedicated to providing accurate information on Aramaic versions of Holy Scripture.  This site provides resources on the ancient  manuscripts such as the Peshitta, Peshita, Peshito, Old Syriac, Lamsa translation, and and many others.  This site provides publications support and distributor for Miltha Ministries and is operated by James J. DeFrancisco & Associates Consulting, LLC.  Although most seminaries include training in Greek and Hebrew, very few offer anything focused on Aramaic.  The Aramaic language is used in the Hebrew and Greek versions of the Bible, the Targums, the Peshitta, the Talmud, and writings of Kabbalah.    Although there is much information available on the internet much of it is of doubtful credibility and value.  Our goal is to provide the most objective and accurate information available.  Knowledge of Aramaic will clear up many misunderstandings in translation and interpretation of Biblical texts.  It will also serve as a bridge between the three great Abrahamic religions:  Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.  This page is dedicated to understanding and peace through the use of these ancient texts.

Aramaic Bible Perspectives is also dedicated to providing extensive information on Holy Scripture in general.  This site provides resources on other ancient manuscripts as well as contemporary and practical ways to apply the wisdom and knowledge gained from these sources.  We will diligently seek to provide the best resources for both the scholar and the interested individual that does not necessarily seek to study the Holy Scripture at the depth expected within specialized scholarship.   With this goal in mind, our mission is to make otherwise difficult texts as plain and easy to understand as possible.
