David H. Stern, born in Los Angeles in 1935, is the great-grandson of two of the
city's first twenty Jews. He earned a Ph.D. in economics at Princeton University
and was a professor at UCLA. In 1972 he came to faith in Yeshua the Messiah. He
then received a Master of Divinity degree at Fuller Theological Seminary, did
graduate work at the University of Judaism, and was active in the Messianic
Jewish movement. In 1979 the Stern family made aliyah (immigrated to Israel);
they now live in Jerusalem. Dr. Stern authored the "Messianic Jewish Manifesto".
His highly acclaimed English translation, the "Jewish New Testament," restores
the New Testament's Jewishness. His "Jewish New Testament Commentary" discusses
the many Jewish issues found in the New Testament. His fresh translation, the
"Complete Jewish Bible", expresses the unity of the Tanakh ("Old Testament") and
the B'rit Hadashah ("New Testament"). This outstanding, scholarly work offers
Bible readers a thorough, biblically Jewish version of God's word.
