Jewish scholars and many other people are aware that the Torah (the Five Books of Moses) is only the first portion of the Hebrew Scriptures. Indeed, the Jewish Scriptures, known as the Tanakh, comprise three parts - the Torah, the Prophets, and the Writings - and observant Jews wouldn't dream of calling any part of them the Old Testament. These three portions contain God's commandments, a constitution for His people, prophesies for the future, and perspectives on history and life. And you'd be surprised what a difference a translation can make; the Jewish and Christian bibles have many things in common, but there are significant differences. The Complete Idiot's Guide to Hebrew Scriptureis a revelation for both Jews and Christians!
