James Murdock lived before the 1900s. Unlike today, it was a time when literally all academic and ecclesiastical authorities believed in the inspiration of the Holy Bible, and the 'Syriac' Aramaic New Testament was held in especially high esteem. Murdock was an honest, Bible-believing Christian, and his translation follows that conviction. Like all his peers at the time, the Peshitta was held in extremely high esteem.
