Janet Magiera is an ordained minister and the founder of Light of the Word Ministry, a ministry dedicated to teaching and making known the understanding of the Aramaic language, figures of speech and customs of the Bible. In 1979, under the tutelage of a student of Dr. George M. Lamsa, Jan began pursuing a course of study of the Aramaic Peshitta New Testament. For over 40 years, she has taught in Bible fellowships and churches in the United States and other countries, using insight from her understanding of the Biblical languages. Many articles and teachings of interest are available on the Light of the Word Ministry website, www.lightofword.org. In 1990, Jan began compiling a database of the Aramaic Peshitta New Testament. As computer technology increased over the years, she expanded and developed the database to generate a series of research tools to study the New Testament. The entire database originally was developed as a software module for BibleWorks, which is not being published anymore. The database is now available to search online at www.aramaicdb.lightofword.org. The Aramaic Peshitta New Testament Translation was the first book published in 2006 of a complete Aramaic Peshitta New Testament Library. The library includes an interlinear, lexicon, concordance, and parallel translations. There is an app of the Aramaic translation on both ITunes and GooglePlay, as well as various electronic versions of her books and the translations. See less
