This is a top notch series. The authors of the individual commentaries are truly experts. Each of the volumes is well written and assessable. It is extremely useful for Christians to know how our Jewish brothers and sisters interpret this material. It is after all, their whole Bible. There are other commentaries that can help with Christian interpretation of OT texts but this JPS series provides much needed information.

I have the print volumes of these and also the Haftarah, Ecclesiastes and Esther volumes. They are all very well-done with excellent presentation. The scholarship is first-rate and Milgrom's commentary on Numbers is one of the best commentaries available period. I agree with Fr. Rich. We cannot begin to understand the Christian writings until we grasp the meanings of the Hebrew scriptures on which the Christian writings have their foundations.
My only complaint has to do with the printed edition of Deuteronomy. It has a misprint in it of about 40 pages that are printed twice and the same number missing. JPS will provide a corrected replacement when they finally reprint it soon.
This set is HIGHLY recommended for those with any interest in the Torah and Hebrew scriptures.
