Reviews
Description
A masterpiece of deep learning and fine sensibility,
Robert Alter’s translation of the Hebrew Bible, now
complete, reanimates one of the formative works of our
culture. Capturing its brilliantly compact poetry and finely
wrought, purposeful prose, Alter renews the Old Testament
as a source of literary power and spiritual inspiration.
From the family frictions of Genesis and King David’s
flawed humanity to the serene wisdom of Psalms and Job’s
incendiary questioning of God’s ways, these magnificent
works of world literature resonate with a startling immediacy.
Featuring Alter’s generous commentary, which quietly
alerts readers to the literary and historical dimensions of
the text, this is the definitive edition of the Hebrew Bible.
