Lamsa produced his own translation of the Bible in the form of The Holy Bible from Ancient Eastern Manuscripts, more commonly known as the Lamsa Bible.

His hypothesis was that for the New Testament, the Aramaic Peshitta was the original text, and the Greek version was translated from it. In support of this, he noted that Aramaic  was the language of Jesus, His Disciples and the earliest Christians, including the authors of the Bible.
