Rocco A. Errico

Rocco A. Errico is an American minister and founder of the Noohra Foundation, an organization devoted to Aramaic Biblical research. Errico was a student of the late George M. Lamsa, a Biblical scholar born in Assyria to an Aramaic-speaking mother, who believed that the Peshitta, or Syriac (Aramaic) language version of the New Testament, came before the Greek New Testament rather than being a translation thereof, as most scholars are convinced. Errico writes books and gives lectures based on this belief that the New Testament was originally composed in Aramaic and only translated into Greek in about AD 300. Lamsa's work compares translations of the Peshitta with popular English translations based on the Greek New Testament, particularly the King James Version.
