Rating: Summary: The one that started it all!!! Review: Ah yes, the Torah!!! God's Episode IV: A New Hope! In this introduction to the Holy Book Trilogy (Torah, Bible, and Quran), God comes out swinging, relating stories from his youth (Adam and Eve), as well as shocking personal details (the truth about the 10 plagues)!Although shorter than the other two texts, the Torah grabs the reader and does not let go...hours upon hours of exciting Hebraic laws are passed down in a fashion which almost makes it a joy to excise the lepers from your tribe! Oh, and don't tell your friends who killed Abel! It's guaranteed to be the Book Club discussion of the month! We can only be thankful that God changed his mind on the book of Leviticus, which was allegedly orignally a Choose Your Own Adventure-esque piece for the kids. If you enjoyed this book, look out for the holy Bible, which picks up where the Torah left off. However, some purists may want to stay away from the sequel, as the entire story changes shape after Chapter V.

Rating: Summary: Great version of King James Torah Review: It is one of the most beautiful books of the
Torah I have seen. It merely contains
the King James translation of the Torah,
but the beautiful cover and extravagant
pictures make it one of the best Torah
books around. This book is a must for any
religious enthusiant.
Rating: Summary: Overrated Review: Overal I think that the Torah is simply overated. The Bible and Koran have much more to offer, and expand on he stories much more. But hey- if you really want a Torah I guess this is a fine version.
Rating: Summary: ACCURATELY TRANSLATED; VERY CONSISTENT Review: The translator of this version of "The Torah" deserve commendation for a job well-done. Its accuracy is consistent with the original Jewish scripts, from which it emanated. Also, the translator did his best in sticking to contemporary English: thus, making it easy for readers to understand. I would readily recommend this version to any English speaker who has interest in the book. Both Jews and non-Jews who know one or two things about The Bible (i.e.: the Old Testament), and/or The Koran, would not read long before inferring that the spiritual accounts narrated in these holy books have got more similarities than differences.
Rating: Summary: NOT a New King James Translation... Review: This is an obviously carefully researched translation that adheres to Jewish texts, rather than the twice-translated greek that European Bibles descend from. Note the entirely different translation of the First Commandment, using "murder" instead of "kill", an all-important distinction in every way.
Rating: Summary: Torah- Worlds most best selling book...EVER! Review: Well facts are hard to argu... Torah and Judaism laid the ground for both Christianity and islam.. Torah is the book that changed the world.. Torah is the most read book in the history of mankind..
Rating: Summary: The Torah ISBN 0805048200 Review: Your published review says that this is the King James version. That is totally wrong. It is the JPS version and they are vastly different.
