Description

First published in 2011, The Jewish Annotated New Testament was once a groundbreaking work, bringing the New Testament’s Jewish background to the attention of students, clergy, and general readers. On this new edition, eighty Jewish scholars bring together unparalleled scholarship to shed new light at the text. This thoroughly revised and greatly expanded second edition brings even more helpful information and new insights to the study of the New Testament.

· Introductions to each and every New Testament book, containing guidance for reading and specific details about how the book relates to the Judaism of the period, have been revised and augmented, and in some cases newly written.

· Annotations at the text–some revised, some new to this edition–provide verse-by-verse observation.

· The thirty essays from the first edition are thoroughly up to date, and there are twenty-four new essays, on topics such as “Mary in Jewish Tradition,” “Christology,” and “Messianic Judaism.”

· For Christian readers The Jewish Annotated New Testament offers a window into the first-century world of Judaism from which the New Testament springs. There are explanations of Jewish concepts such as food laws and rabbinic argumentation. It also provides a much-needed corrective to many centuries of Christian misunderstandings of the Jewish religion.

· For Jewish readers, this volume provides the chance to encounter the New Testament–a text of vast importance in Western European and American culture–with out a religious agenda and with guidance from Jewish experts in theology, history, and Jewish and Christian thought. It also explains Christian practices, such as the Eucharist.

The Jewish Annotated New Testament, Second Edition is an crucial volume that places the New Testament writings in a context to be able to enlighten readers of any faith or none.
