This is an amazing product... I love the insights.
I live in China where the availability of products for one to study the word of God is VERY limited, as always I find the sources for e-sword to be of the greatest importance. If you're reading this comment please think about how fortunate you may be to live in a country where you can access the word of God without restrictions.

I can now read 3 dimensionally, here's an example, concerning Romans 16:1 The usual English term for this office is "deacon," which transliterates the Greek word; and the closest Hebrew equivalent is "shammash" (Yiddish "shammes"),...

The Jewish Commentary on the NT, gives fresh insight into the New Testament.
Being use to mostly Anglo-Saxon commentary, this is a very useful and helpful Commentary.

It's a commentary worth having. But there are some books of the Bible that contain no commentary portion. So for this fact the commentary offered no insight into the book I was studying. But skimming through I enjoyed what I read and will use it when I study other books.

Worthwhile purchase (8/18/2013)

I really value the added Jewish/Hebrew insights that David Stern is able to bring to what has been a Christian Scripture. I have used his insights in both a teaching and preaching capacity. I first bought the book, but am very pleased to have his work added to e-Sword

Messianic Judaism (4/2/2013)
Reviewed by (Gordon Hodgson, Wamuran, Qld, Australia) - Jewish New Testament Commentary for e-Sword
Insightful look at the "true" Jewishness of the Bible. Helps in understanding what is really going on with God's Covenant. Explains why the last portion of the bible is a continuation of the Covenant(s) God has with his people. The Christian Church is identified as a part of the Hebrew faith and not separate from it.
After purchasing a hard copy of this commentary, I found the additional cosr worthwhile since it makes access to it some much easier. The Complete Jewish Bible is an essential part of this purchase also
Understand what writers meant (9/6/2012)
Reviewed by (Cezary Niewiadomski, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia) - Jewish New Testament Commentary for e-Sword
It is very insightful to learn what original writers had in mind when they used words to describe theological concepts. Obviously their vocabulary was limited, but learning their background and thought patterns of the Hebrew people, helps so much to understand the message of the Bible. Another important factor is to learn idioms used in wiring. We take it for granted but we use so many of them and everyone knows what they mean. But for those who learn another language it is so obvious that every language is made of idioms, therefore we should learn do discover the difference between precise expressions and idiomatic ones. The Commentary helps me a lot in understanding the Word of God. Active links save lots of time in checking up references and transferring biblical text to any other document (preparing sermons, Bible study materials, discussion papers) or to the Web. e-Sword is a wonderful tool and eStudySource resources complement it in every possible way. Could not wish for better Bible tools.

Reviewed by (Andrei Enache, Kirkland, WA) - Jewish New Testament Commentary for e-Sword
It took a while to get used to the Jewish names and words, but I think that the author explains very well the letters of Paul, taking into consideration the Jewish customs and way of writing. He quotes rabbbis and Christian scholars, when he interprets a text, he gives the literal translation and the other interpretations. I like it a lot.
Cons: he uses Jewish names and it could be distracting at first.

Stern's commentary opens up the world of the Master and his disciples. His explanations of the thorny issues brings clarity not found in standard theological lines. His scholarship is outstanding and his clarity superior. This is the first commentary I would recommend in a library.
a MUST commentary (3/26/2012)
Reviewed by (JoAnne Stanley, Crossville, TN) - Jewish New Testament Commentary for e-Sword
This commentary helps to straighten out misunderstandings present in New Testament teachings. The writers of the N.T. were Hebrew speaking Jewish people and their idioms, their perspectives on the real message don't always translate easily into English. Couple that with centuries of the doctrines of men and we need help understanding our Bible. This commentary, especially if read along side the Complete Jewish Bible will energize your studies and fire up your spirit! Highly recommended!!

A fresh viewpoint. (12/29/2011)
Reviewed by (Douglas Godbey, Quinby, Virginia) - Jewish New Testament Commentary for e-Sword
The book offers a different view point to the Second or New Testament. Contrary to the teachings of the past, Jesus was (and still is) Hebrew. Much of what we read nowadays comes from Bible scholars that view things from a Western position. This is NOT to say they are (or were) wrong, just not completely correct about the finer points in the Scriptures. The Bible was written in Hebrew, by Hebrews, thinking in ways the modern Western world doesn't. This book comments of the Scripture from a Hebraic Christian Scholar's mindset. It opens the New Testament in a different way than Gill or Matthew Henry does. Well worth the cost because it can add another facet to the Christian life.
Verbal Distractions (12/29/2011)
Reviewed by (Ken Chant, Werrington, NSW, Australia) - Jewish New Testament Commentary for e-Sword
I've not read enough of the commentary to make a truly informed judgment. But I did take a first look at it today, choosing at random Galatians 5:11. I was at once irritated by a cluster of pompous verbal distractions that added absolutely nothing to the value of the exposition. In two short paragraphs there were several occurrences of Sha'ul and Yeshua, plus a clumsy "execution stake".
If the remainder of the commentary is equally replete with such linguistic pretensions, I will be too annoyed to make much use of it.

Reviewed by (Alice Sumner, The Woodlands, Texas) - Jewish New Testament Commentary for e-Sword
I've used this commentary in book form for many years and I am so happy that they finally have it for E-sword. You will get a whole new viewpoint of the New Testament Scriptures from a Jewish perspective. You will come to understand phrases that have perplexed most Christians because they are Jewish sayings. This book will really open your eyes and help you in your studies and in understanding our Lord, the Apostles and the early Church much better. Thank you once again eStudySource for giving us great products to help us understand the Scriptures.

An Excellent Insight (12/29/2011)
Reviewed by (Stephen Jovanovic, Christchurch, Canterbury, New Zealand) - Jewish New Testament Commentary for e-Sword
This is an excellent commentary to use alongside the Complete Jewish Bible (CJB) when wanting to look at Scripture from a Jewish perspective. I believe David Stern has achieved this. The History behind the Scriptures are a valuable insight to Jewish thinking, and moreover very helpful in gaining understanding from a historical/cultural perspective in exegetical study.
Three Stars.

For those who are interested in exploring the depths of the riches of the Jewish background of the New Testament, this is one of those commentaries you should own. I knew Dr Stern and studied with him in California. He is a faithful biblical scholar and man of God.
