Description
The JPS Tanakh Gender-Sensitive Edition is a revised translation of the Hebrew Bible, offering a fresh and inclusive interpretation of the scriptures. Drawing on advances in scholarship and contemporary research, this edition provides a faithful and accurate translation that reflects the complexities of Israelite history and religion. The translation strives for inclusive language, using gender-sensitive renderings where appropriate and avoiding grammatically masculine pronouns and labels. The revised edition maintains the utmost fidelity to the original Hebrew, while incorporating the best of linguistic, literary, and social scientific research. This approach enables readers to experience the scriptures with the power of the original text, while also acknowledging the importance of inclusivity and egalitarian perspectives. The tetragrammaton is typically translated as "God" in small capitals, rather than "the Lord", to avoid masculine connotations. This edition is likely to become the new standard for readers who value biblical scholarship and tradition, as well as those who adopt an inclusive and egalitarian perspective.
