This unique work highlights the importance of the translation process in defining the priorities and concerns of these different groups, and reveals interesting contrasts in literary styles, verse placement, and canonical content. The volume includes three translations that have an imprimatur (<em>NRSV</em>, <em>NAB</em>, <em>NJB</em>).<br>
