Why read it?
1 author picked The Jewish Study Bible as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Each of these three books has the biblical text; explanatory notes that include scholarly perspectives; and a lengthy set of essays by well-noted scholars. All of these parts of the Bible were written (primarily) by and for Jews in antiquity—including much of the New Testament—and these books seek to recover how they were read and functioned in antiquity.
From Michael's list on how to read the Bible.
