Commentator's Bible — Genesis?

Just wondering, does the print version (and will the Accordance version) of “The Commentators’ Bible” (Miqra-ot Gedalot) contain Genesis?

Just wondering, does the print version (and will the Accordance version) of “The Commentators’ Bible” (Miqra-ot Gedalot) contain Genesis? 

 

 

 

I believe the author is still writing the Genesis volume. When it is finished, there are plans for us to develop it for Accordance.

I found my own answer online - the English translation (in hard copy) is in the process of being funded now. So, we can probably expect it in Accordance after that!

OOPS--I didn't think this was being posted. Sorry for the many replies.

BEST COMMENTARY SERIES FROM A JEWISH PERSPECTIVE?

- What would you recommend?

 

Though I teach at a Christian seminary, I want my students to understand the history of interpretation. If you chose one series for them to add to their Accordance libraries (or to wait for one that may come in the future), which series/module would you recommend?

Thanks, Mithri--that confirms what I discovered online about the Genesis, Commentators Bible, volume. It is in process.

The torah, a modern commentary is on offer and well worth getting

 

The jps commentaries are good.

I really value this set in accordance.

 

There are additional ones i havent got

While not commentaries, as quick resources to get a top level view, i repeatedly use these in my workflow and there are some excellent essays.

Its is also worth getting the jps bible (tagged)

And although there is a new version of this study bible, i am not sure if we will get it in accordance and this is well worth it

As is the jewish annotated nt

I initially bought the two study bibles as hard copy and was overjoyed when they came to accordance for all the additional functionality. Im holding off getting the later versions in paper format as i live in hope that they will come to accordance but what i have got is great value.

 

This isnt in accordance but i am finding it a great read, written in a very entertaining way and a sample is available in kindle

Others have reported that these are useful resources

I second Fraser's suggestions. I have found all of the JPS tools very useful for the task of expanding ones perspective!
