Vic Alexander's Birthday

Victor Alexander's birthday is Saturday, May 7th. He will be 79 years old. If you would care to wish him a happy birthday, see below.

Vic was a professional filmmaker, but being a native Aramaic speaker familiar with the ancient Aramaic language the Bible was authored in, he noted that there was not an adequate English translation that caught what the original authors meant by what they said. So he set out to translate the Bible himself according to what the ancient Aramaic Church of the East would have understood by the received texts. That is quite an undertaking, and not without controversy, as Vic found the dictionaries used to translate other "Aramaic" versions to be inadequate and in error: "This is not what that means!" So Vic's translation is unique, to say the least, and using it puts us in with that church, the Ancient Aramaic Church Jesus Christ founded: "...on this rock I am building my Church" (Matthew 16:18 Alexander).

Vic's ability to continue to translate has been curtailed by chemicals in medical treatments. What has been translated was accomplished before that. I wish he had been able finished the Book of Joel first.

Vic is a man who made a noble effort to give us what he understood the Bible to really say to the Church it was sent to. I am truly grateful. Thanks, Vic, and happy birthday!
