What do the Messianic Jews think about this resource?

[sojeru]

this version is ok as a resource. some of the commentaries are very good as it shows correlations between Bible and "New Testament", and other extra biblical writtings.

Thank you, sojeru. I like this Bible version too. I think it will help me better know Jews.

I thoroughly enjoy this translation. However, it is somewhat difficult for those who may not be very familiar with hebrew transliterations.

I've only read some of it online (as the exchange rate of the dollar here in Brazil has become astronomical since the 09/11 attack, it is incredibly expensive down here - some years ago 1 real was 1 dollar, nowadays it's 3 but no inflation here - imagine paying around 150 dollars to get one of these bibles shipped to you! Ah well...) - but it seems to be quite a good Bible for both those who are willing to testify to Jewish people and also for those who are well acquainted with Judaism and have just found Mashiach. As for Messianic Jews who are simply trying to find a 'less biased' translation, I'd say Dr. Stern's Complete Jewish Bible is still the best option, because it's a much easier read.

In Messiah,
