He has some superb commentaries that I would really like to have in my Library.

Zak Feacher

Yes I agree. Especially his new 3 volume set – The Hebrew Bible: A Translation with Commentary.

Armin

I just noticed that I am not the only one who is interested in these books:

@junsung0312-82 Yessss!

Robert Griffin

His "The Hebrew Bible: A Translation and Commentary" would the most important book of his to publish. See https://feedback.faithlife.com/boards/logos-book-requests/posts/the-hebrew-bible-a-translation-with-commentary-by-robert-alter

John Dalbey

Daniel Wurzberg

most definitly...I got them this Christmas in print from the US, but would love to have them in Logos as well. Almost considered turning my epub into PB....but that's unending work

@davidw57 Yes!

I believe several of the translations with commentary by Robert Alter would be a very popular and valuable addition to Logos. His work on Old Testament narratives is stunning. A tremendous tool for any student and all teachers of the Bible.
His works optimized for use in Logos would be my highest priority addition to my library.

Rosie Perera

There are already a couple of highly-voted suggestions for Robert Alter books. Probably best not to dilute the pool, but go vote for these:

Agree, can't happen soon enough. I'm especially anxious to see his translation of the Hebrew Bible as a Logos Edition.

unknown

An absolute must have! I rely heavily on Alter’s efforts, and consider his translation and brief commentary whenever I study OT scripture.

unknown

Now that Alter has translated and commented on the whole Tanakh, it would be great to integrate these resources, particularly as he not only applies a literary but also close to literal method which endeavours to hew close both to the sense and the sound of the original.

unknown

I am shocked that Alter's books are not available on Logos.

@Armin I agree. YES !

unknown

These are really important books. It would be fantastic to have his translation and a reverse interlinear.

Jim

The three volume Hebrew Translation would be an excellent addition to the Logos library.

unknown

We have a few of his books available at the public libraries in little old Auckland, New Zealand of all places! ...Seems a bit odd that one of the largest Bible Software programmes doesn't have any! 😂

Dennis Hilario

Yes. I love to see it in Logos.

Ron Napier

I see that it is planned--any update?

Chris Lane

His Hebrew Bible translation 🤤 I was again thinking about how much I’d like this in my Logos 2 days ago

Robert Lloyd Davey

Absoluely agree

Freddy Lam

Logos, let’s make it happen!

Yes! Especially his OT translation

unknown

yes please!

@Armin I agree.

Kiyah

When will this finally move from "Planned" to "In Progress"?

unknown

Really wanting the Hebrew Bible by Robert Alter in my Logos library. It would be an invaluable tool for word and meaning study!

Mike Chu

Yes, please add his OT translation and commentary notes!

Rosie Perera

Specific books of his that I'd most like to see:
The Art of Biblical Narrative
The Art of Biblical Poetry
The Hebrew Bible: A Translation with Commentary
The Literary Guide to the Bible
The Art of Bible Translation

unknown

Yes please add The Hebrew Bible

Ben

Seems like Art of Biblical Narrative (and Poetry) snuck in through the ebook process. They need to be better formatted (some real inconsistencies in font size), and the rest of his works added!

Mark K Gass III

ignore/delete - sorry I created this by accident when trying to search

unknown

This must happen.

Mike Chu

Absolutely great idea!

Freddy Lam

Please bring his work to pre-pub.

Justin Beard

Glad this is planned. It's needed!

@David Wolcott Yes!

unknown

He is gaining a lot of respect and accumulating many cross references - we should be able to access his work on Logos, especially his translation of the Hebrew bible

REV. DR. JAIME LOPEZ ORTEGA

I absolutely agree.. Robert Alter is a great scholar. And writer.

REV. DR. JAIME LOPEZ ORTEGA
