People are certainly entitled to enjoy whatever beliefs they would like and I fully support every individual's right to choose the faith that best suits them.
As a traditional Jew however, I find this whole thing rather insulting. Trying to pass a Christian interpretation off as a mainstream Jewish product is wrong under this kind of title. Messianic Jews are NOT traditional Jews and are not recognized as part of the mainstream Jewish religion. I have nothing against them or their beliefs and like I said I fully support their right to believe in whatever they would like just like I would hope they support my right to do the same.
What Handmark is doing here is wrong. They are not clearly marking this product for what it is. There is no Jewish Bible. There is a Torah and a Talmud. Free speech tells us that Handmark has the right to publish whatever they would like however, this is approaching misleading marketing.
I wonder what a group like the Anti-Defamation League would say about something like this?
