This upgrade to Jewish Annotated New Testament (2nd Edition) will give you the latest edition.


First published in 2011, The Jewish Annotated New Testament was a groundbreaking work, bringing the New Testament’s Jewish background to the attention of students, clergy, and general readers. In this new edition, eighty Jewish scholars bring together unparalleled scholarship to shed new light on 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 New Testament book, containing guidance for reading and specific information about how the book relates to the Judaism of the period, have been revised and augmented, and in some cases newly written.
  • Annotations on the text–some revised, some new to this edition–provide verse-by-verse commentary.
  • The thirty essays from the first edition are thoroughly updated, 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 no 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 essential volume that places the New Testament writings in a context that will enlighten readers of any faith or none.

    The Jewish Annotated New Testament (2nd Edition) is a great enhancement over the 1st edition. I have them both, and considered purchasing the 2nd edition well worth it for additional essays, and some added material in the comments. It’s great to see modern Jewish scholars like those in this work finally waking up to the fact that Yeshua and his followers (and subsequently, their writings) were all thoroughly Jewish. The electronic edition here in Accordance is, as always, far more advantageous to merely having a paper book. Thanks Accordance for adding this one!
