Interesting. I go to a lot of their sources when I dig already.

FYI: I don’t know if you’ve listened to talks at Hebrew Catholic:

Someone at the Institute for Catholic Culture turned me on to it a while back re: salvation history and prophecy.

A number of the folks at my synagogue are very high on this, I think since A.J.Levine was a shared "scholar in residence" with neighboring churches last year. (I was unfortunately away so I did not participate.)

There are people who call themselves "Jews for Jesus," who strike me as frauds. (The ones I've talked to know next to nothing about Judaism.) But I've met others who refer to themselves as "Messianic Jews," (including in Israel) and they seem to me to be very much Jewish. (If you ask them something offhand about Torah, they know it.) This guy, David H. Stern, strikes me as the latter sort. He has translated the Christian Bible into Jewish English in a way that you probably can only understand if you read it. (E.g. phylacteries are tefillin, etc.) And he has written a companion volume, Jewish New Testament Commentary, which I am also glad I own. (Though I continue to prefer Christian Bible to New Testament.)

About $24 from Amazon but check out author’s previous book first.

What a coincidence! I just got my copy in the mail TODAY!

Unless this is written by Messianic Jews for Messianic Jews what possible use is it? Why would anyone use a bible commentary written by unregenerate people? Talk about useless.

An interesting project. Don't want to get into disputes, but the Jewish Study Bible is based on JPS translations, I've actually gifted it on a couple occasions to Christians who wanted to read Jewish translations of the Tanakh. Not commentary. So in my mind Brettler is credible. As to commentary, in the JSB commentary isn't much more than long footnotes. Since vladimir998 has an copy of this book, I'd be curious if that's the case here as well. As to those who comment what's the point, or to who, I kind of agree, but there's always value in these projects.

Jewish Annotated New Testament (Oxford University Press, 2011), marks the first time, as the volume’s Preface states, “that Jewish scholars have annotated and written essays on the complete New Testament.”

And the work of David Stern is chopped liver ?
