Rocco A. Errico

Dr. Rocco A. Errico is an ordained minister, lecturer, author, and one of the nation's leading Biblical scholars working from the original Aramaic Peshitta texts. For ten years he studied intensively with Dr. George M. Lamsa, Th.D., (1890-1975), world-renowned Assyrian biblical scholar and translator of the Holy Bible from the Ancient Eastern Text.

Dr. Errico's publications include: Let There Be Light, And There Was Light, The Mysteries of Creation, The Message of Matthew, Setting a Trap for God, Classical Aramaic Book 1 (with Fr. Michael Bazzi). He is also the co-author, with Dr. Lamsa, of 13 Aramaic Light biblical commentaries.

In 1970, Dr. Errico established the Noohra Foundation in San Antonio, Texas, as a non-profit, non-sectarian spiritual-educational organization devoted to presenting the Semitic Near Eastern context of culture, language, idioms, symbolism, mystical style, psychology, and literary amplification as essential to understanding this ancient spiritual document.

The Foundation has been located in Smyrna, Georgia since 2001 where Dr. Errico was Dean of Biblical Studies for Dr. Barbara L. King’s School of Ministry — Hillside International Truth Center in Atlanta — for twenty years.

Dr. Errico continues to lecture for colleges, civic groups and churches of various denominations and is currently presenting Aramaic School of Light zoom classes under the auspices of the Noohra Foundation (www.noohra.com) as well as weekly zoom classes on various spiritual topics.
