Robert Alter on Bible translation
So, you know I want Robert Alter's books, ALL OF THEM. And have for years.
Besides his completed Hebrew Bible translation and commentary, he has a new book out on Bible translation, which I would also love to see in Logos.

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."

I've just finished his book on Bible Translation. It's certainly not a technical manual but a popular book, and informed by a literary sensibility matched by very few translators.
Can we PLEASE get some Alter in Logos? There seems to be plenty of demand."The whole modern world has divided itself into Conservatives and Progressives. The business of Progressives is to go on making mistakes. The business of Conservatives is to prevent mistakes from being corrected."- G.K. Chesterton
