Critics Review
“A carefully plotted, awe-awakening journey through the evolution and adaptation of the Jewish Bible within a variety of cultures and settings… . Enrapturing… . Bibliophiles will find much here that fascinates… . The Jewish Bible is a fascinating look at a work whose materiality is shown to be inseparable from its meaning.”
– Michelle Anne Schlingler * Foreword Reviews *“Brilliant and fascinating… . In The Jewish Bible, Stern masterfully synthesizes this scholarship, offering a chronological history of Jewish sacred books from Qumran to the JPS Tanakh.”
– Adam Kirsch * Jewish Review of Books *“The Jewish Bible: A Material History will give you a great sense of the gift ancient and medieval scribes and scholars bequeathed to those who came after them.”
* Association of Mormon Letters *David Stern
