abstract = {Among dozens of new translations of the New Testament published in the
	last fi fty years, there are several versions by Jewish scholars which have yet to receive
	enough attention. This article offers an analysis of the most characteristic features of
	these translations, such as criticism of the existing versions outlined in the introductory
	sections, as well as actual techniques by which the Jewish origin and character of the
	text is emphasised in three spheres: superfi cial, cultural and religious, and theological.
	Each of these is illustrated with numerous examples, juxtaposed with traditional
	versions. It is argued that, regardless of the ideological motivation underlying the origin
	of the Jewish translations of the New Testament, they offer valuable and otherwise
	unavailable insights into the original message of the ancient Christian writings.},
