Tanakh review February 13, 2008
As a Religious Studies major, I chose this text to get the "feel" of reading old scripture. I was not disappointed. It is a wonderful, beautifully written form of the Hebrew Bible. It will treasure for all time as part of my Biblical "library."
 where is it?! October 14, 2007

The Tanakh (1985) is very readable and easy to understand. It includes informative footnotes and offers a more direct translation from the original Hebrew into English. (Many of our better-known translations are taken from the Greek version [the Septuagint], which was translated from the Hebrew after Greek replaced Hebrew and Aramaic as the dominant language).
The Tanakh is based on the "original" Hebrew Bible, which means that it does not include any of the New Testament. The "Old Testament" books in the Tanakh are in a different order than other traditional English language Bible translations. The books are grouped together in three sections, based on the Hebrew tradition:
The Torah (5 books of Moses)
The Prophets
The Writings
If you are looking for a more direct translation based on original texts translated by Hebrew scholars -- without having to learn Hebrew! -- this book is a must read.

Excellent and easy to read. The text is very small so if one has +40 year old eyes it may be a strain. Thanks!
