The goal of the Watch:Jerusalem Bookstore is to bring together an eclectic but focused group of books for the reader of Watch:Jerusalem newsletter. Inclusion in the listing does not imply endorsement of that book's message or author(s) by the editor of W:J, but rather an indication that this is a book likely to be a player in the "open market" of ideas. Suggestions for inclusion in the book store are very welcome. |

 Three Gospels: The Good News According to Mark, the Good News According to John, an Honest Account of a Memorable Life by Reynolds Price (Translator and Editor) Read more about this title... "If anyone wanted an introduction to the Gospels, or wondered why they should have one, I would turn them first to Price's book, rather than any contemporary theologian. [Three Gospels] is that good." --The Washington Post, Larry Woiwode See sample translation. |
The Companion Bible (KJV with notes and appendices) by Ethelbert W. Bullinger (Ed.) Read more about this title... One of the most helpful, scholarly, and easily referenced "study Bibles" I have ever used. The appendices alone are worth the price of the book. --W:J See sample translation. |
Psalms I, 1-50 : Anchor Bible (Anchor Bible, Vol 16) Psalms II, 51-100 : Anchor Bible (Anchor Bible, Vol 17) Psalms III, 101-150 : Anchor Bible (Anchor Bible, Vol 18) by Mitchell Dahood (Ed.) Read more about this title... Father Dahood: "The translation offered here differs from earlier efforts in that it is not the fruit of a confrontation of the Hebrew text with the ancient versions, from which the least objectionable reading is plucked." Rather, from a close examination of the original text, a unique translation has been attempted, one which relies heavily on contemporary linguistic evidence. It is a translation "accompanied by philological commentary, that lays heavy stress on the Ras-Shamra texts and other epigraphic discoveries made along the Phoenician littoral," a translation prepared in direct response to W.F. Albright's statement (made a quarter of a century ago) "that all future investigations of the book of Psalms must deal intensively with the Ugaritic texts." --Amazon.com synopsis See sample translation. |

Complete Jewish Bible by David H. Stern (translator) Read more about this title... "Best Translation Available!! I feel, as a believer in the Jewish Messiah, that Dr Stern's amount of thought and care placed into this translation makes it the best available to date. Too often, we Goyim (Gentiles) feel that we have the right to ignore our Messianic Jewish friends and 'create our own tree' of interpretations and 'truths'. If one takes the time to ponder Paul's words as a Jewish cohen and realize that we are to be a branch of that tree, Oh! How much greater the reward!!" --Amazon.com customer See sample translation. |
The Jewish New Testament Commentary: A Companion Volume to the Jewish New Testament by David H. Stern Read more about this title... "In this companion volume to his widely and highly acclaimed Jewish New Testament, Messianic Jew, Dr. David Stern, offers an exciting and original way of understanding the New Testament from a Jewish point ot view." --Amazon.com synopsis |
Tanakh: A New Translation of the Holy Scriptures According to the Traditional Hebrew Text Read more about this title... Also available in CD-ROM edition. The definitive edition from the definitive publisher, the Jewish Publication Society. --W:J See sample translation. |
The Word: The Bible from 26 Translations by Curtis Vaughan (Editor) Read more about this title... "The Word aims 'to clarify the meaning of the King James Version,' writes Curtis Vaughan, 'by the use of other translations of the biblical text.' The Word is a unique study tool compiled by thirty scholars. It offers the basic text of both the New and Old Testaments in the KJV, which is printed in boldface. Significant variations in wording appear in lighter print immediately following each verse. By including a variety of translations, this resource adds to the reader's understanding of each Bible verse. It was previously published by Baker Book House as The Bible from 26 Translations. Alternate readings are from the American Standard Version, Revised Standard Version, The Living Bible, The New American Standard Version, the Jerusalem Bible, The Amplified Bible, The Torah, and other translations." --Amazon.com synopsis See sample translation. |
