You recognize there's many jewish's .... pick one (eg Qumran, Enochian, etc).
But, my favorite is:

Unfortunately, it's hard to date the Targums, as well as the Talmud.

The essays and commentary in the Jewish Annotated New Testament. (Which has been requested for Logos, but isn't even on prepub yet.)
"The whole modern world has divided itself into Conservatives and Progressives. The business of Progressives is to go on making mistakes. The business of Conservatives is to prevent mistakes from being corrected."- G.K. Chesterton

Hey Ben, do you have this resource in any form?
I looked on Amazon and can pick it up for Kindle at a fairly reasonable price. If you have the Kindle do you find it to be readable/usable?
I know that some kindle books are a joke.
It looks interesting and I would buy it in a Logos format were it available.

I have the Kindle version. It's usable, but of course you can't navigate directly to a chapter/verse. The best you can do via the TOC is navigate to a book. The footnotes are extensive and you can navigate back to where you came from by clicking on the reference. There are short explanatory articles scattered throughout the text and some longer articles at the end. The TOC oddly lists these all (both short and long ones) sequentially after the books of the Bible.
Here is a sample spread of 2 pages:
It would definitely be much better to have this in Logos. But if you need it soon, the Kindle price isn't bad for what you get.
FYI, you can buy a Kindle book and return it with no questions asked within a day (or some such) if it doesn't meet your needs or you bought the wrong book by mistake or found a better price elsewhere or whatever (they ask you for your reason for returning it).

Thank you for the sample Rosie.
As far as returning Kindle books, this is from Amazons web site...
- Books purchased from the Kindle Store can be returned within seven days of purchase. Once a refund is issued, you can't have access to the book. To request a refund and return content, visit Manage Your Content and Devices, select the Actions button next to the title you'd like to return, and select Return for Refund.
- Kindle books you receive as a gift are eligible for exchange for an Amazon.com Gift Card before acceptance
Just before pulling the purchase trigger for the kindle version, I remembered seeing in another Logos forum/thread asking for votes on the Jewish Annotated New Testament here ... https://community.logos.com/forums/t/203774.aspx that DAL mentioned that he had the title in the "A" bible program. I remembered "Hey, I've got a copy of that program" that I really never use.
So I decided that I would add the title to my library in that "A" program. At least that way I can navigate around by scripture verse reference. Of course since I never really use that software I will now have to learn at least a little bit about it.[:S]
Anyway, thank you again.
