Complete Jewish Bible

The Complete Jewish Bible is a complete Bible designed to foreground Jewish continuity between the Tanakh and the New Testament, presenting both portions as parts of a single Jewish text rather than as separate literatures. In scope it covers the whole Bible, working from Hebrew and Greek and resting on a base text of the Masoretic Hebrew and the Greek New Testament. Its translation philosophy is idiomatic and contextual, seeking natural English rather than word-for-word correspondence, and it may be categorized as a fresh or revised translation employing Jewish terminology. It was developed from the predecessor Jewish New Testament of 1989, which supplied the New Testament portion. Among its distinctive features, extensive Hebrew transliterations set apart its reading experience, giving personal names, festivals, and religious vocabulary in Hebrew forms. It is widely associated with Messianic Jewish readership and worship.
