The Jewish Study Bible: featuring The Jewish Publication Society TANAKH Translation

Editorial Review:

The Jewish Study Bible presents the center of gravity of the Scriptures where Jews experience it--in Torah. It offers readers the fruits of various schools of Jewish traditions of biblical exegesis (rabbinic, medieval, mystical, etc.) and provides them with a wealth of ancillary materials that aid in bringing the ancient text to life. The nearly forty contributors to the work represent the cream of Jewish biblical scholarship from the world over. No knowledge of Hebrew is required for one to make use of this unique volume.
The JSB uses The Jewish Publication Society TANAKH Translation, whose name is an acronym formed from the Hebrew initials of the three sections into which the Hebrew Bible is traditionally divided (Torah, Instruction; Nevi'im, Prophets; and Kethubim, Writings). A committee of esteemed biblical scholars and rabbis from the Orthodox, Conservative, and Reform Judaism movements produced this modern translation, which dates from 1985.
Anyone interested in acquiring a fuller understanding of the riches of the Bible will profit from reading The Jewish Study Bible.

Tanakh Review:

Excellent study guide. Great for definitions of words . Explains from Jewish perspective. Each Chapter gives background of the Torah, Nevi'im and other important Jewish and Chritian text. If you want to study the Bible or Tanakh this is great for beginners.

The Jewish Study Bible: featuring The Jewish Publication Society TANAKH Translation:

I have between 10-12 different versions of the Jewish Bible, and this one is my least favorite. I am a fluent Hebrew reader and I find that the English translation is limited and not accurate. The commentaries are un-original and often quite shallow. What I do like in this book are the maps, I find them helpful.
I would not recommend buying this book.

The Word of God:

The Jewish Study Bible: featuring The Jewish Publication Society TANAKH Translation is a superb edition of the Holy Bible. As a dedicated Christian, I have a desire to learn more and more about the Word of God. God used the Jewish people to provide humanity with His Word and His Son; therefore, their point of view is valuable to me in my quest for a deeper walk with Him. Although the vast majority of Jews do not yet accept Jesus as their Messiah, The Jewish Study Bible, an easily read English translation... more info

Illuminating:

I have been studying the Word of God for 6 years and I felt a hunger for more. I purchased this Tanakh (Jewish Study Bible) and found it difficult to put down! It is so clear and understandable to a layman in the Torah ,Prophets and Writings. This book draws me closer to God! ; and I am so ever thankful.
