The editors of The Jewish Annotated New Testament show how and why
Jews and Christians read many of the same Biblical texts -
including passages from the Pentateuch, the Prophets, and the
Psalms - differently. Exploring and explaining these diverse
perspectives, they reveal more clearly Scripture's beauty and
power. Esteemed Bible scholars and teachers Amy-Jill Levine and
Marc Z. Brettler take readers on a guided tour of the most popular
Hebrew Bible passages quoted in the New Testament to show what the
texts meant in their original contexts and then how Jews and
Christians, over time, understood those same texts. Passages
include the creation of the world, the role of Adam and Eve, the
Suffering Servant of Isiah, the book of Jonah, and Psalm 22, whose
words, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me," Jesus quotes as
he dies on the cross. Comparing various interpretations -
historical, literary, and theological - of each ancient text,
Levine and Brettler offer deeper understandings of the original
narratives and their many afterlives. They show how the text speaks
to different generations under changed circumstances, and so
illuminate the Bible's ongoing significance. By understanding the
depth and variety by which these passages have been, and can be,
understood, The Bible With and Without Jesus does more than enhance
our religious understandings, it helps us to see the Bible as a
source of inspiration for any and all readers.
