Study Hebrew Bible Book Recommendations

Oxford Catholic Study Bible, Jewish Study Bible and New Oxford Annotated Bible are all liberal-mainline versions of Bible. So is New Jerome Biblical Commentary and Oxford Bible Commentary. Hence these are not for devotional-conservative Bible followers.

​@@historytheology I believe people who are interested mostly in Biblical text, and not much in classical 4th century AD Catholic-Orthodox tradition, are better off with focusing on Jewish-Protestant canon of Bible. Jewish & Protestant traditions are much less mystical and philosophical and more text focused than Catholic & Orthodox one. Whether mainline-liberal or devotional-conservative.
