The Contemporary Torah: A Gender-sensitive Adaptation of the JPS Tra... Hardback

Description: Great shape… CONTEMPORARY TORAH A Gender-Sensitive Adaptation of the IPS Translation An adaptation of the acclaimed JPS translation of the lorah that offers new insights into the role that gender plays in the Bible. "Far from pandering to contemporary tastes at the expense of the ancient text of the Hebrew Bible, revising editor David Stein and his co-workers have exhaustively mined the ancient Near Eastern world for literary examples that help us better understand the role gender played more than three thousand years ago. The Contemporary Torah is often thought provoking and even startling, while at the same time remaining deeply and thoroughly rooted in Jewish exegetical traditions. This volume merits a place alongside the earlier NJPS and other English-language versions of the highest caliber and most abiding value." — Leonard Greenspoon, Klutznick Chair in Jewish Civilization, Creighton University "In the past, translators and interpreters of the Torah have assumed that its language and content have strongly favored men over women. The new Contemporary Torah of the JPS goes a long way toward shaking up and hedging that assumption. The new 'gender-sensitive' translation is based on original and responsible scholarship and is performed with grace and thoughtfulness. It is an important and exciting work that should engage anyone interested in the Torah — Jew or Gentile, female or male, English reader or Hebrew reader." — Edward L. Greenstein, Professor of Bible, Tel Aviv University
