I love this book and the reviews by the readers. It documents my own evolution and the problem I have with those in a different space/time mentality. This book will be my intellectual companion together with the Encyc Judaica cdrom. With this book, any non-Jew can argue with Jews about Judaism :)

I received the book I purchased from you, “The Jewish Study Bible: Featuring the Jewish Publication Society Tanakh Translation,” in good condition and very fast. The problem is with the translation: It’s WRONG! I was expecting this to be an updated version of the JPS translation, like they claim it is; however, it is an entirely different translation that has completely different meanings of many of the passages. For example: It claims that the Jewish story of Creation was taken from the old Mesopotamian myths. And in Genesis 1:11, it has God implanting the earth with vegetation, rather than the seeds that will eventually sprout the vegetation. This version is very inaccurate, to say the least. I am disappointed and disgusted with the “Jewish” Publication Society, they have made a mockery of Judaism with their new translation. In short, I need to return this book.
