Let There Be Light: The Seven Keys

This was the first Rocco Errico book I purchased over ten years ago. It was eye opening and mind opening as it explained previously misundestood portions of the New Testament. It provided a context through the lens of language and culture that was actually liberating.

A mind boggling and tremendously fascinating book. If you are among the many who never really figured out what Jesus actually said on several occasions, this is a book for you. The author unveils 7 keys to open up the door to the ancient Aramaic world from which the Bible (or at least the New Testament) emerged. The language is plain and simple and the contents will give you a much deeper insight into New Testament and Biblical teaching that you think would ever be possible.

Definately some great ideas on the Bible and Jesus. Sheds light on so many illogical things that never make sense to most of us. Makes the bible much more understandable and user friendly.I learned a lot. I read this going. "oh my God, that makes perfect sense now! That's what Jesus really meant."It's more of a spiritual seekers book than one for "strict" Christians who are not into new ideas and interpretations on the bible. Although after reading this you feel like you can't imagine how anyone ever got along without these ideas because they make so much sense.

This book, along with "Setting a Trap for God" really opens up the Scriptures as few books are able to. Both my wife and I got goosebumps as we read the section regarding the meaning of Jesus always saying "Truly or verily, verily I say....." Highly recommended for anyone wanting a full understanding of the Scriptures!

"Let There Be Light: The Seven Keys" is an ideal book for anyone interested in understanding the Old and New Testament from the perspective of Middle Eastern language, culture, and mysticism. Written in a very informative and relaxed style, "Let There Be Light" takes the reader through a virtual short course on Semitic culture. Once obscure and confusing Biblical citations become clearer, more informative, and meaningful through Rocco's careful scholarship and teaching style. This is an excellent book for lay readers or students of religious thought.
