One way to add fresh perspective and insight to your Hebrew Bible study is to incorporate Jewish scholarship. Resources like the Jewish Publication Society’s Jewish Women Collection can help you experience the Scriptures that Jesus studied and memorized in a whole new light.
Founded in Philadelphia in1888, the Jewish Publication Society (JPS) sought to provide immigrants’ children with Jewish heritage books in English. As the oldest publisher of Jewish books in the United States, JPS publishes works of history and philosophy, as well as translations of scholarly and popular classics.
