Does anyone know whether Robert Alter's Hebrew Bible translation/commentary would ever have a chance of making it onto the Logos platform? I find his literary insights to be extremely helpful and would LOVE a Logos formatted edition of both the translation and accompanying notes.

    We've been pushing for it for years, his other books and individual translations prior.

    Recently got a good deal on the Bible in print. That means Logos will likely soon have it in pre-pub[:O][8-|]

    I wish.  I just finished his Translation volume, and checked to see if Kindle or hardcopy was do-able. $70+ and $140. Whoa.  This would most easily be solved by Logos just offering Alter ... I could handle $70 or even $140 on Logos.
