I was about to complain about the site's spelling problems.  But it turns out, you learn something everyday ... accidentally!

Morris Jastrow (the father) was a jewish scholar, who wrote the famous dictionary of the Talmud (aramaic).  The son (who followed in his footsteps) wrote subsequent volumes. And all on Logos.

The volumes of interest today:

A Gentle Cynic: Being a Translation of the Book of Koheleth (Ecclesiastes)

The Book of Job: Its Origin, Growth and Interpretation, together with a New Translation Based on a Revised Text 

Both are of the 'critical' variety, include re-translations, and go into depth on the early history of the hebrew, acceptance, etc. Both came up, after reading Ehrman on suffering.  And I thought I had all of 'Jastrow' ... I didn't!

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."
