The JPS Hebrew-English TANAKH features the oldest-known complete Hebrew version of the Holy Scriptures, side by side with JPS’s renowned English translation. Its well-designed format allows for ease of reading and features clear type, an engaging and efficient two-column format that enables readers to move quickly from one language to another, and an organization that contemporary readers will find familiar.
The Hebrew text of this TANAKH is based on the famed Leningrad Codex, the Masoretic text traceable to Aaron ben Moses ben Asher, ca. 930 CE. Ben-Asher researched all available texts to compile an authoritative Bible manuscript. In 1010 CE his work was revised by Samuel ben Jacob, a scribe in Egypt. Lost for centuries, the manuscript was eventually discovered in the mid-nineteenth century and became known as the Leningrad Codex. This edition adapts the latest BHS edition of the Leningrad text by correcting errors and providing modern paragraphing.
The English text in this TANAKH is a slightly updated version of the acclaimed 1985 JPS translation. Wherever possible, the results of modern study of the languages and culture of the ancient Near East have been brought to bear on the biblical text, which allows for an English style reflective of the biblical spirit and language rather than of the era of the translation.
This edition also includes an informative preface that discusses the history of Bible translation, focusing on the latest JPS English translation of the Holy Scriptures. It is the result of a 30-year interdenominational collaboration of eminent Jewish Bible scholars. Readers are sure to appreciate one of the most intensive projects in the history of The Jewish Publication Society.

Virtually every rabbi and library will want this volume.
—Associated Press
This is an extremely well-produced volume, undertaken with sensitivity and meticulous care, and synthesizing scholarly and traditional needs, both in interpretation and layout. In short, it is a welcome and useful study tool that beginning students of Bible will greatly appreciate.
@Benjamin Brown is this difference from what we offer here? https://www.logos.com/product/384
Strangely looks exactly alike (reading JPS guide samples). Font, footnotes, everything. I couldn't get my 1985 Tanakh to display footnotes though (1 column paging).
Rick, yes this is different than what Logos has, this one PS Hebrew-English TANAKH, Student Edition | The Jewish Publication Society is Hebrew English and I already have the one you mentioned.
I would like to have this one PS Hebrew-English TANAKH, Student Edition | The Jewish Publication Society for my logos for in-depth Hebrew English studies
I was surprised Logos does not have PS Hebrew-English TANAKH, Student Edition | The Jewish Publication Society

@Benjamin Brown I have emailed our contact at JPS and am awaiting a reply. As soon as I hear something, I'll come back and update this discussion.
Burnett's third book, this examines one of the most profound concepts presented in the Bible: why God hides Himself and is often absent. I bought my hard copy around the same time I bought Burnett's book on the word ':elohhiym, back during Covid. The book has positive reviews by Mark Smith, Patrick Miller, and James…
This is Burnett's second book. Pretty much all "historical" approaches to the Bible are diachronic, which fundamentally hobbles any conclusions which are drawn with respect to gaining insight into a synchronic God. If prophecy is a real thing, and if God knows the end from the beginning, then diachronic inquiry is not just…
Suggesting three books by Joel Burnett. The first one (this recommendation) is based on his dissertation. It is considered to be the most comprehensive and up-to-date inquiry into the word ':elohhiym available at this time. That should be enough to get it into the production cycle. I've owned a hard copy for a while, but…

Svenska Folkbibeln is the more conservative of the two major Bible translations in Swedish. It was first released in 1998, which is available on Logos through libronix.se. However, they published an important revision of the translation in 2015, which is still not available. I've reached out to the people at Libronix…
