It seems to me that he made his work much harder than it needed to be, but it must have paid off...and continues to with people needing to continue to buy a new edition every year or so, as he fixes all the errors and slowly brings the English text and the Aramaic text together, so they match.
To me, this is terrible, and should never have been done the way it was done. Was it about money? He could have put his teachings online for free, and took the time he has been given, to bring forth an accurate and faithful translation of The Eastern Peshitta.
I pray that the forth coming Official English New Testament by The Church of The East, will blow all this other chaff away...and I know that also, one day, Alaha willing, The Khabouris Manuscript will be seen in English translation, in a faithful, literal, and accurate rendering of its Eastern Aramaic text.
Blessings,
