In the years since the initial publication of The Jewish Annotated New Testament (JANT) in 2011, interest among scholars and general readers in the Jewish roots of the early Jesus movement and the ongoing influence that Jewish thought and experience have had on Christian history has only grown. In that time, JANT has established itself as an essential resource for anyone, of any faith or none, interested in the New Testament and the world from which it emerged.

This third edition incorporates the recently released New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition of the New Testament. In addition, the annotations and essays have been thoroughly revised and greatly expanded, and ten new essays have been added, covering topics such as sin, purity, and Judas Iscariot.

At a time when dialogue between Christianity and Judaism, its sibling, is increasingly important, JANT is both enlightening and necessary for all those interested in the wider view of the New Testament, inter-religious dialogue, and cooperation between these formative faith movements in Western and world culture.
