"This annotated version of their New Testament forces Christian
readers to rethink some of their perceptions about New Testament
texts, together with their presuppositions and prejudices. All
those who teach the New Testament and who preach from its pages
would do well to ponder Amy-Jill Levine's survey, Bearing False
Witness: Common Errors Made about Early Judaism." -- Christoph
Stenschke, Neotestamentica
"Any reader who wishes to study the text of the New Testament from
a scholarly perspective will find plenty of engaging, illuminating
readings guaranteed to make it worth their while Highly
recommended."--Jenny Webb, Association for Mormon Letters
Praise for the first edition:
"A magnificent achievement... The Jewish Annotated New Testament is
a marvelously bounteous compilation."
-- Commonweal
"An admirable piece of scholarship... Much contemporary writing on
Scripture is faddish or tendentious. This book is a disciplined
work of clarification and illumination." -- Marilynne Robinson,
Wall Street Journal
"To see the fruits of the ongoing interchange between Jewish and
Christian biblical scholars, one need look no further than this
volume...this volume shows how the deepening knowledge of late
antique Judaism enriches one's view of the New
Testament."--CHOICE
"A vivid and thick description of issues, practices, ideas, and
events of the Second Temple period, with the Gospels in particular
looking more and more like extensions of Jewish life and
textuality. The result is a bridge of connection between the
cultures, almost to the point of losing sight of the chasms of
(mis)understanding that have divided them for centuries." --Common
Knowledge
"This unique groundbreaking reference book fills a needed void...A
must purchase for any school, synagogue, or university
library."--Association of Jewish Libraries
"This new commentary on the New Testament certainly adds an
important voice to modern NT commentary and is essential reading
not only for biblical scholars but seminarians and
preachers."--Catholic Books Review
"A monument to past achievements in New Testament scholarship and a
beacon for future study...The Annotated Jewish New Testament should
be either a primary text or required accompanying work in every
seminary and upper-division course in New Testament and should
leave its mark on all preaching."--America
"This comprehensive volume provides a more critical and in-depth
look at the Jewish context of the NT for both scholars and
laypeople."--Religious Studies Review
"The Jewish Annotated New Testament makes a wonderful contribution
to Jewish appreciation of the New Testament, on the one hand, and
Christian appreciation of the Jewish dimension of New Testament
literature, Jesus, and his disciples, on the other...We owe [the
editors and their many contributors] our thanks for putting
together such a useful and positive contribution to New Testament
interpretation and to much better, more accurate, and fairer
Jewish
and Christian understanding. I recommend this book enthusiastically
and without reservation."--Craig A. Evans, Journal of the Jesus
Movement in its Jewish Setting
"An historic volume of extraordinary scholarship that can transform
Christian-Jewish relations. . . . A must-read for both clergy and
laity. . . . A significant achievement."--Rabbi A. James Rudin,
Senior Interreligious Advisor, The American Jewish Committee
"This exciting collection by leading Jewish scholars not only
annotates the New Testament but also brings out its themes,
context, and interpretation over the centuries. Essential for
libraries of scholars in Christian-Jewish studies, academic
institutions offering degrees in theology, and dialogue groups at
all levels."--Dr. Eugene J. Fisher, Distinguished Professor of
Catholic-Jewish Studies, Saint Leo University; Former Associate
Director, Secretariat for
Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs, U.S. Conference of Catholic
Bishops
"One volume must find its way to seminarians, preachers, and other
students of Scripture: The Jewish Annotated New Testament. With
insightful essays and page-by-page notes and sidebars on each book,
this volume fills a huge gap in the world of biblical
interpretation, providing an accessible guide to how this most
Jewish document from antiquity is understood by Jewish scholars
today."--The Rev. William Brosend, School of Theology, Sewanee, TN
and
Executive Director, Episcopal Preaching Foundation
