Review
A gorgeous new Bible... real value comes from adding the Hebrew, paired with its translation in a dual column format on each page...a collaboration among eminent Bible scholars representing all perspectives within the Jewish community...following principles of contemporary critical scholarship and sensitivity to the cultural nuances of translation. --
Star Tribune, 7/24/99The new Hebrew-English Tanakh by the Jewish Publication Society is the culmination of a 50-year dream: to present the original Hebrew and a contemporary English translation side by side. For Jewish readers, the new translation comes at a time of growing interest in study of the ancient writings, and greater enrollment in Jewish day schools and other religious activity...For Christians, the text can help deepen the understanding of their own faith, scholars say. --
