I read and study from many different versions of the Bible, most recently the Complete Jewish Bible. This new translation of the gospels complements by personal study and offers even more insights into the life and times of the biblical world. I appreciate the scholarly approach to this translation. The extensive and detailed introduction explains what the gospels are and how they came to be a part of the book we now call the Bible. Also included are a glossary of unfamiliar words and transliterations of proper names. These resources are placed at the beginning of the book so that the reader has a firm foundation of the purpose and methodology of the translation before actually reading it. The Gospels will be a welcome resource on my Bible study shelf and I expect to return to it time and time again in the course of my studies of scripture. 
Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the early copy to read and review. All opinions are my own.
