The Aramaic Bible: Targums in their Historical Context

MCNAMARA Glazier-Liturgical Press Aramaic Bible Project 115
written on Targum translation and on one's experience in translating,
transposing, the concepts and Aramaic language of the Targums into
English, in a manner meaningful for modern readers. Some of the
lessons learned would not be without relevance to the understanding
of the New Testament, particularly the Gospels.
It was the hope of the editors that this series, provisional though
it may be, will bring significantly nearer the day when definitive
translations of the Targums can be made. Let us hope that this
cooperation which has been so real over the past decade or so
continues and even becomes structured—for instance in the form of
an international Organization of Targum Studies.
