The Jewish Study Bible by Adele Berlin
First published in 2004, The Jewish Study Bible was hailed as a landmark. It combines the entire Hebrew Bible--in the celebrated Jewish Publication Society TANAKH Translation--with explanatory notes, introductory materials, and essays by leading biblical scholars on virtually every aspect of the text, the world in which it was written, its interpretation, and its role in Jewish life.
Each essay is informed, informative, and written by an authority on the subject being analyzed.. An extremely useful resource. * CHOICE *
The Jewish Study Bible encompasses a monumental assembly of critical learning and acumen, representing the achievement of an entire generation of Jewish scholars. The commentaries are not only erudite but purposeful and theologically alert. A heroic undertaking, brilliantly conceived and executed with panache.' * Jacob Neusner *
Serious students of Judaism will want to have a copy of this outstanding and surprisingly affordable study Bible, which stands in the tradition of Oxford's great study Bibles. * Publishers Weekly, Religion Bookline *
Another superb holiday gift, especially appropriate for non-Orthodox Jews, is The Jewish Study Bible from Oxford University Press, which finally stands alongside the many verse-by-verse commentaries for Christians. This work also is recommended for serious-minded Christian readers. * Associated Press *
This is an essential acquisition for every library and an indispensable addition for every Jewish home. It has been needed for a long time. * Nahum M. Sarna, Judaica, Florida Atlantic University *
The Jewish Study Bible is a major accomplishment. It provides accessible essays from the full gamut of Jewish scholarship, and a running commentary that draws liberally from both traditional and scientific perspectives.'' * Lawrence A. Hoffman, Liturgy, Worship and Ritual, Hebrew Union College *
