The '''Complete Jewish Bible''' (CJB) consists of both the [[Old Testament]] ''[[Tanakh]]'' and Dr. David H. Stern's translation of the '''Jewish New Testament'''. The Old Testament section is a complete paraphrase of the 1917 Jewish Publication Society version of the Tanakh, while the New Testament is a modern translation from the ancient [[Greek]]. Stern began his translation from the standpoint that the New Testament is a [[Jewish]] book, written by Jews initially for Jews with a Jew as its central figure. His followers were all Jews, yet no translation prior to this had attempted to communicate its essential Jewishness. The translation uses neutral terms and [[Hebrew]] names throughout, and corrects mistranslations previously introduced from an [[Anti-Semitism|anti-Jewish]] [[Theology|theological]] basis. Stern's translation is intended to deliver passages and expressions in their original cultural context, in the manner he believed the 1st century Jewish writers meant for them to be understood. Unlike a [[Christian]] Bible translation of its equivalent Old Testament, the books of the Tanakh are placed in the same order as a Jewish Bible, using their Jewish titles. This translation is commonly used in [[Messianic Judaism|Messianic]] [[synagogue]]s.
