Marvelous! Inspired! The Word, as presented in this format, has shaped my life like nothing else. And as names, events, places, and actions are presented in their original and proper context, several historical recordings take on a whole new meaning and are better understood... until, one day, we will see face to face!
The glossary at the back, providing the meaning of names, places, events, etc... in their proper, Jewish context, proved to be most helpful. The text, as translate...more

Messianics and Gentiles wanting to learn the bible from a more Jewish perspective
I do not like the translations in this bible as much as in my Access Bible but, I find it to be extremely useful in that it uses the Hebrew names for people and places. This version definitely enhances one's understanding of the Bible by knowing the original names for things as Yeshua (Jesus) would have known them. Also, in the back of the book is a Glossary of Hebrew words and their meanings as well as the English translations. This is particularly valuable tool in understanding the bible as be...more
I totally appreciate this Bible to use alongside my NKJV. Stern opens up the Hebraic perspective that is lost on most church folk (me being one of those). The only caveat is that this is one man interpreting and sometimes we don't agree. But hey, this translation/interpretation as a supplement is worth its weight in gold for me and my family.

Excellent translation of the NT (See Jewish New Testament by the same author and publisher). I didn't find the OT as fresh as the NT translation.
Ok, I checked this out from the library because I had heard about it. Ewww. Stern puts Yiddish into his translation of the New Testament.
The Yiddish language did not begin until the 11th century and was not spoken by Jesus and the apostles.
If you want to do an entire Yiddush translation of the Bible, that would be one thing, but to throw in random Yiddush words is just bizarre. I was also not impressed with the translation itself. Besides throwing in random Yiddish words, som...more

I just got this translation, but I can see so far that I really like it.
I now have a leather one...i recommend it. The ol' paper back got all "bendy".
Excellent!
Three years ago when I started studying Hebrew (I am a Christian) this book was a tremendous help because Stern uses the original Hebrew in both the Old and New Testament, to give the reader a more complete picture of what life was like back then. Example, Jesus's name is Yeshua. Reading in this context, helps you see the realy Jewishness of him and his disciples, and really helps you appreciate the Old Testament a lot more! :)
Just acquired a copy... and am currently reading John. Wow! Maybe it was just time for me to read this and the Holy Spirit is opening my eyes, but the New Testament text ifs fresh and real and alive. Stern puts Jesus back into his Jewish context, making his claims of Messiahship and more that much more powerful.
Since I'm using this for one of my translations for Torah study this year, I added it. (Maybe since I recently removed the Jewish New Testament Commentary from my list since I don't have time for it right now, then I felt compelled to add this one).
really enjoy the cultural realities evidenced in various new perspectives of known scripture ~
new light on wrong western thought and theology.
helpful in clarifying misunderstood teaching...

This is an excellent translation. David Stern uses the Hebrew names and helps to clear up some of the translation problems in the New Testament that does not seem to represent the Tanach.
The New Testament portion was translated by a Messianic Jew. It's very interesting to read this version coming from someone who understands the original Jewish thought and perspective.
The portion, and Psalms... just finished the book of Acts and my faith has increased. What a powerful God we have.
A fresh insight into the scriptures and pretty well done. I have added it to my "try to read each year" list.
Improve vocabulary, learn about the Jewish culure, and widen your perspective on scriptures. I love it!
very enjoyable, some knowlege of hebrew phrases helpful
