Why is this Bible different from all other Bibles? Because it is the only English version fully Jewish in style and presentation. It includes Dr. Stern's newly updated version of the Tanakh ( Old Testament ) and his highly acclaimed Jewish New Testament.

The Complete Jewish Bible follows the Hebrew Bible order of the Tanakh's books, the order with which Yeshua (Jesus) was familiar and makes no separation between Old and New Testaments while also clarifying misunderstandings by recognizing the Jewish historical/ cultural background of the text.

Features:

• offers the original Hebrew names for people, places, and concepts, using easy-to-read English transliterations and pronunciations
• focuses on Messianic prophecy
• gives the traditional weekly and holiday synagogue readings, plus relevant readings from the B rit Hadashah (New Testament)
• reconnects Christians with their Jewish roots and the Jewish people
• connects Jews with the Jewishness of Messiah Yeshua and Messianic faith
• a comprehensive introduction

Psalms-Tehillim offers uplifting words of praise and gratitude, expressing the majesty of God, along with a sense of God's nature as a shepherd. God is thus the transcendent creator, as well as the personal caretaker. No collection of writings has captured so well these two aspects of God.

Proverbs-Mishlei gives us the wisdom for daily living, renewing our minds by leading us to examine our actions, to discern good from evil, and to decide freely to do the good. Many of the truths in the Bible are like gold buried deep underground that take effort to dig out and understand. But the Book of Proverbs is like a mountain stream, littered with nuggets, just waiting to be picked up. Since there are 31 proverbs, you could choose one proverb a day and look for these nuggets that will enrich your life.
