JANT invites Christian readers to better understand how Jewish experts of our own time view the NT and Jesus.
JANT also invites Jewish readers to engage the teachings of Jesus from the stance of their own convictions.

As Amy-Jill Levine, co-editor with Marc Zvi Brettler, made clear in conversation with US Bishops, "It is vital for Jews to study the New Testament to gain respect for their Christian neighbors, even as Christians must do the same with the Hebrew Scriptures."
The US Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) agrees. "The publication of Levine's and Brettler's comprehensive work on the New Testament represents an important milestone in Catholic-Jewish relations," said Bishop Denis Madden, chairman of the USCCB Committee on Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs.

Preachers, Bible students and teachers alike should consult JANT every time they prepare a homily or Bible lesson. If you can afford only one new Bible resource this year, this is the one to buy. (Click here for a link to publisher's website, where you can get JANT for only $35.)
