Most people are familiar with Aramaic as the “language of Jesus,” a view popularized by blockbuster films such as Stigmata and the Passion of the Christ. Some people believe that portions of the Bible, or perhaps even the whole Bible, were originally composed in Aramaic before being translated into Hebrew, Latin, Greek, and other languages. This course aims to introduce students to the history of the Aramaic language and literature through the point of reference through which most people are familiar with it: the Bible.
