I love the JPS TANAKH
I love the JPS TANAKH! The only drawback is the print is very small! I wear readers, which makes it easier to read.

If anyone quotes me any more crap…
If anyone quotes me any more crap from the Old Testament (which this essentially is) purporting to tell me or anyone else how to live, I'm going to quiz them about the last time they sacrificed a calf or a goat or something to God because He seems pretty big on that stuff. If you're going to try to run other people's lives by this stuff, I suggest you start running your own by ALL of it, not just selected passages, first. Some decent stories in parts, some decent poetry in Psalms some wiggy proverbs in Proverbs and lots of lists (especially in Kings and Numbers and especially of people to displeased the Lord -- a lot).

If you are not a fan of Hebrew scriptures, this book will have very little to interest you. The translation is very good. It flows very well, and captures some hebraisms, without doing damage to English at the same time. For readers who have a smattering of Hebrew, it is very helpful to have the Hebrew text side by side with the English text. This not, however an interlinear version, where the English words are above the Hebrew words, so you will have to have a bit more than Strong's background to get something from the Hebrew. This contents much of the narrative that formed western culture. Ignore it as your own peril (and I am not talking heaven/hell peril here--it would be like ignoring Shakespeare.)Arctic-Stranger
