The Hebrew Bible is the oldest complete work of Jewish scripture, making it a spiritual and cultural center for Judaism. It's also the most important text in Christian theology, which is why we read it every week in church. But what exactly is the Hebrew Bible?

The Hebrew Bible is the original text of the Jewish scriptures, and it is generally accepted by scholars as the foundation of both Judaism and Christianity. The Hebrew Bible contains the Five Books of Moses, which were written in two different periods: the Torah - Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy; the Neviim - Joshua, Judges, Ruth, 1 Samuel 2. The Hebrew Bible was translated from its original text into Greek by highly trained Jewish scholars called Septuagint late in the second century BC. There are three different translations of this translation: Vulgata (the New Testament); Targums (the Targum on Esther and Daniel) and Josephus (the Antiquities).

Newly updated and adapted by Robert Alter, this audiobook is a translation of The Hebrew Bible with commentary.
