Book Reviews of The Torah

Book Review: ACCURATELY TRANSLATED; VERY CONSISTENT
Summary: 5 Stars

The translator of this version of "The Torah" deserve commendation for a job well-done. Its accuracy is consistent with the original Jewish scripts, from which it emanated. Also, the translator did his best in sticking to contemporary English: thus, making it easy for readers to understand.
I would readily recommend this version to any English speaker who has interest in the book. Both Jews and non-Jews who know one or two things about The Bible (i.e.: the Old Testament), and/or The Koran, would not read long before inferring that the spiritual accounts narrated in these holy books have got more similarities than differences.
