Summary: "Excellant Greek Translation" - Rev. George Cunningham
Comment: As a student (and erstwhile scholar) of Biblical languages I found this author's New Testament Greek translation by far the trueist to the published United Bible Society 4th eddition text than any English translation I have explored to date. The use of transliteration of Hebrew names and key theological terms, while challanging to the Christian Gentile mind, is extremely enlightening. This author, unlike the committes of translators who produced the other English edditions of the Biblical text, does not shy away from translating the Greek correctly when it challanges specific Christian denominational practice. Just one example is the correct translation "immerse" instead of the transliteration "baptize" used since the original KJV. Such transliteration to preserve denominational practice is "dishonest" at best. The negative reviews written by those of more orthodox Jewish faith than the author are completely understandable. To assert approval would demand they approach the person Jesus in a totaly fresh way, ie. as the Messiah that was rejected and crucified 2,000 years ago. The translation of the Hebrew Old Testament (as much as I can check at the level of my present capabilities) is as true to the language and even truer to professed intent as the most recent English translation of the accepted Hebrew text as that produced by the Jewish Publication Society. David Stern's translation is a monumental work that should be read by every person of the planet that is willing to let God's Holy written Word "mean what it says, and say what it means": atheist, agnostic, Christian and Jew alike.

Summary: For those expecting a Moshiach and not a Christ...
Comment: For those that disregard Messianic Jews as not being Jewish, I suggest you take a harder look at the New Covenant scriptures (that is, New Testament). This Bible restores the Hebraic terminology that has been excluded from Christian Bibles for too long. Often it's only a small adjustment, like saying 'Hannakkah' instead of 'Feast of Dedication' or 'Shavuot' in place of 'Pentecost'-- but, the more casual Jew, (and, actually, especially Gentile) may not be aware of just how Jewish the New Covenant is, with all of the translated english words present. Gentile Christians don't celebrate Hannakkah and the other festivals because it is not a part of thier culture--- hence, their is no need to use the Hebraic phrases--- this Bible uses the terminology that would have been used by the Hebrew speaking Jewish believers of the first century. Though I don't believe it is the single greatest translation ever, I have to recommend this Bible to anyone interested in understanding the New Covenant from the proper perspective--- the Jewish perspective. After all, the original writers were Jews, writing for Jews, in Israel, proclaiming the Jewish Messiah. Why write it off as 'non Jewish' when you can see for yourself?

Summary: Pretty good
Comment: This Bible combines an older JPS translation of the tenach with Stern's own translation of the New Testament. I've seen books that place parts of the New Testament in its Jewish context, but this one tries to place all of it in that context. It succeeds in using the correct Hebrew names of the writers. It succeeds in highlighting and annotating quotations from the Tenach. It fails when it puts Yiddish in the mouths of Second Temple Period Israelis. It seems contrived, but it also takes away from the millions of Jews that didn't emigrate to Eastern Europe.
I've heard that this particular translation may be most helpful for those who have never seen the New Testament in a Jewish context (all but two books were written by Jewish people and a fair number of the books were letters to a specifically Jewish audience). This may be accurate.
Some things that I do like about this translation are that it has the parashiot and individual aliyot delineated, so that you can use it for reading in synagogue. It also has a list in the back of readings for special Shabbatot.
I like the fact that this particular version is leather bound, and lasts long than the paper or hardbound version.
