About this audiobook

The JPS TANAKH: The Jewish Bible, audio version is a recorded version of the JPS TANAKH, the most widely read English translation of the Hebrew, or Jewish, Bible. Produced and recorded for The Jewish Publication Society (JPS) by The Jewish Braille Institute (JBI), this complete, unabridged audio version features over 60 hours of readings by 13 narrators. Regarded throughout the English-speaking world as the standard English translation of the Holy Scriptures, the JPS TANAKH has been acclaimed by scholars, rabbis, lay leaders, Jews, and Christians alike. The JPS TANAKH is an entirely original translation of the Holy Scriptures into contemporary English, based on the Masoretic (the traditional Hebrew) text. It is the culmination of three decades of collaboration by academic scholars and rabbis, representing the three largest branches of organized Judaism in the United States.

Ratings and reviews

Seriously? The contents index, does not list; Torah Parshas, Books of: Prophets, Writings, etc. Rather the Index, simply lists Chapters, that do not relate to the Tanach. You want to go straight to Psalm 143 - Good Luck! Also, there is no option to label (name) Bookmarks, even if you happened to find the reading you wanted, by chance.

The contents doesnt divide into books, then chapters. It os a list of 400 or so chapters. This is annoyingly inconvenient. But, It is a reading of Sceipture. So, I cant complain too much. Thank you, and God Bless!

Most useful contents in that audio book available in the English language! Nicely sounding excellent readings are encouraging a better listening experience!
