Book Reviews of Complete Jewish Bible : An English Version of the Tanakh (Old Testament) and B'Rit Hadashah (New Testament)
Book Review: An exellent book. Usefull to all.
Summary: 5 Stars
I find this translation of the Bible to be excellent. As a gentile Christian with Messianic Jewish friends, I am eager to get to the Jewish roots of my faith. I believe that this book is good for gentile and Jewish Christians alike. However, for non-Christian Jews who are serious about investigating the claims about Jesus being the Messiah, I would recommend that they read "Betrayed" by Stan Telchin. This would be a very good companion work to the Tenach and B'rit Hadashah. Also, it would be a good guide to Messianic Biblical prophesies from a Jewish perspective. Try it and see!Book Review: Fresh insight into the Bible
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been reading The Complete Jewish Bible over the past 6 months. I am really enjoying it. At last, version of Bible in which the characters step out of the pages and in to the mind of the reader. I feel as if I have met Job, Jeremiah, Ruth, Paul, John and naturally Jesus. The type setting allows the reader to see immediately what is poetry and what is narrative, quotations from other parts of scripture are clearly indicated thus making the text easy to read and understand.
This book is a must for those who are trying to understand the Jewish background to the Christian faith and offers fresh insight into many biblical texts and is open to all
Book Review: An incredible book for both Jews and Christians
Summary: 5 Stars
The 'Complete Jewish Bible' is an awesome book, uniting in the title two words ('jewish' and 'bible') which in the religious world don't mix. By doing so it also unites two totally different religions - Judaism and Christianity. The aim of the author (David H. Stern) is to prove the divinity of the the messiah (Yeshua) to God's chosen people (the jews) and remind Christians of their Jewish roots, showing that the new testament is a completely Jewish writing. The reason I like this book so much personally is the fact that it uses the correct Hebrew words for people, places and events and it doesn't distinguish between the "Old" and "New" testaments, therefore implying that both are, in fact, one book. This was a great aid to me as it helped me to realise that although I've accepted Yeshua as the chosen Messiah, I must also accept that I am still bound by the laws of the Torah. If there is no seperation between the "Old" and the "New" testaments than clearly it means that the Torah still aplies today. The 'Complete Jewsih Bible' also follows the Hebrew order of the Tanakh's books, the order with which Yeshua was familiar. It corrects mis-translations in the "New" testament and focuses on Messianic prophecy. This book was reccommended to me by an incredible friend of my and I would recommend it to both Jews and Christians.Book Review: Reaffirming the JEWISHNESS of the GOSPEL
Summary: 5 Stars
I first heard about the CJB from the WILDOLIVE website. The use of original Hebrew names and terms made me want to learn Hebrew properly, which I am now doing with the TANAKH and B'RIT HADASHAH.I have preached from this Bible a couple of times, and I find using the True names of Jesus (Yeshua) and GOD (YHVH) really just increases the reverence as these original versions of the names have not been taken as swear words thankfully.
Also, as I have stressed in my teaching, the Hebrew names are so important, as it tells you in the Introduction to this Bible; Yeshua means 'YHVH's Salvation' explaining WHY Miryam (Mary) and Yosef (Joseph) were told that the Messiah must have this name.
It is a beautifully presented Bible, and a MUST for any Christian these days- particularly those who have been educated in the Replacement Theology area of the Church ( those who believe that God is finished with the Jewish people, that the Church is the new Israel, and that current events in the Middle East and the fact that the Jewish people are back in their ancient homeland have nothing to do with Bible Prophecy). Read this and you will realise how dear to The LORD our Jewish brothers and sisters really are. This Bible will also cause many Orthodox Jews to examine their hearts and KNOW that Jesus IS THE MESSIAH PROPHESIED IN THE HEBREW SCRIPTURES.
I urge you to buy this Bible, and if possible, get the Jewish New Testament Commentary too, also written by David Stearne, as this will help you understand his different rendering of the Greek of the New Testament.
Get this wonderful Bible; I really believe it is here for such a time as this; remember; there will not be two separate groups of believers when we are with Our Lord; we will be no longer Jew or Gentile, but ONE in the Messiah.
One more thing; Any Christians reading this; I urge you to find out the Jewish roots of our Faith; it will make the whole Bible much easier to understand, the Book is Jewish,and you need to come at it from a Jewish state of mind. Pray for Wisdom from The LORD, and He will give it to you.
Book Review: It's a con job
Summary: 1 Stars
This is a *Christian* Bible, with some of the names made to look more Hebrew - the original text was in Greek, so this whole 'Jewizing' the "New Testament" is just an anti-semetic con job that doesn't really do very well.
