Colin: Good news! The online text of The Complete Jewish Bible (David H. Stern, Jewish New Testament Publications, Inc., 1998) is now available for reading, searching, and quoting at (http://bible.crosswalk.com/). They've currently included ONLY the first five books of the Old Testament, and the Gospels, but more will be added later. So you have the opportunity to sample it online. I love the Complete Jewish Bible (CJB). I'm excited about it! The translator, Dr. David Stern, has written several other books, two of which I have recently purchased. They are "Messianic Jewish Manifesto" and "Jewish New Testament Commentary" (JNTC). The author intended that the CJB be a companion volume to the JNTC. However, the Bible can be read, studied and enjoyed with or without the commentary. In the CJB the 55-page Introduction is packed with information that is a pleasure to read. In my personal library I have approximately 24 different Bible versions in print (as opposed to available online). No other translation does what the CJB does. It is the only English version fully Jewish in style and presentation. To quote from the copy on the back cover, "The Complete Jewish Bible - reconnects Christians with their Jewish roots and the Jewish people - connects Jews with the Jewishness of Messiah Yeshua (Christ Jesus) and Messianic faith" I use the CJB, as well as the JNTC commentary, every day. As you've probably noticed, I've been quoting this Bible version on the Forum. You can read customer (real people) reviews of both the Bible and the commentary at Amazon.com. I heartily recommend the CJB. Check it out at the website (http://bible.crosswalk.com/) and see what you think. Grace and shalom, kalos |

Kalos, That's a tame endorsement. I'm going to buy the whole shebang (sans manifesto) on your say so! Have you checked out the Ignatius Study Bible, by the way? Emmaus turned me on to it. It is great. There's a gold mine across the Tiber. Colin |
