This is the ultimate compilation of his previous books such as Pentateuch (also suggested) and the result of his writing the biblical narrative book also suggested. Logos would be remiss in not including this resource as it is the bestest English translation of the Hebrew Bible ever. I have been waiting for it to come out since the book was released in Kindle. Pls at least put it up as prepub so we can share it with lots of others. Thank you!

It looks like an amazing translation from what I have seen.

Robert Griffin

Please look inside the book on Amazon's site to get an idea of how good it is. Truly amazing.

OT Translation by Robert Alter

John K Bryant

I own this in print and it's superb. It's a fresh modern jewish translation with a sensitivity to the form and wordplay in the original language, and you should handle it with all the care and caution you would from any other one-man translation not done by a committee. But at the same time, as a translator Robert Alter is almost peerless. There are a few others on his level, but hardly any better. Making this old testament available for sale in your marketplace and allowing me to buy it digitally in Logos would turn me into a regular Logos user if I could search the text and footnotes, and access this on my phone.

Please make this available!

I've been reading this translation and would love to have it within Logos especially with inline interlinear enabled

unknown

Yes! Would love to see this translation and commentary notes added soon, please!

Freddy Lam

Where is this work? Waiting

This is being referenced in more and more books that are in Logos and in academic works. It should be in Logos

Just an update on this request. As of yet, the publisher has not been willing to license to us. However, we will not give up, and hopefully we will see this and other titles we would like to develop. Know that we're not ignoring this request, but our hands are tied at the moment.

Mark Flannery

Would be nice to add to my Logos. I have the audio and print copy. Sure would be easier to carry in logos….

Anthony Carver

Any update here? I'd like to have this in my library as well.

Jim

Excellent translation of the Hebrew Bible.

Jeremy Gunter

This request is for the same product as this one, which already has 72 votes on it.

Patrick J. Madden

I would CERTAINLY buy it! The man knows how to write English! His comments on Hebrew writing style are priceless. As a contemporary "author" he appreciates the talent of ancient practitioners of his trade.

Robert Brandon Weaver

I'd like to see Robert Alter's 'The Hebrew Bible' made available in Logos.

His 'The Art of Biblical Narrative' and 'The Art of Biblical Poetry' are already available in Logos, with 'The Art of Biblical Translation' on almost funded for production.

Alter's translation of the 'The Hebrew Bible' and it's incredible commentary would a very valuable resource.

Richard Lyall

Or rather, hopefully Logos will sense the book's popularity and get going with it!

Vote added to main thread.

Some books are difficult to get the rights to; don't assume Logos hasn't tried.

Richard Lyall

Don't make assumptions about what I'm assuming 😬

Ben

I would like to request that when Alter's translation/commentary hits Logos, PLEASE produce the notes as a separate resource, so that it's linkable/scrollable. Nothing worse than having to click endless superscript notes and read them in a smaller pop-up window.

Ben

I note that Robert Alter's books are marked as "planned." Any chance we'll get his translation and commentary before January? My Church is starting on a year-long OT study, and it would be awfully nice to be able to recommend it.

Richard Lyall

That would be good, but the fallback is that you can use the Power Lookup tool to extract hyperlink content from the active resource window into a scrollable list.

Jeff

Looking to get a copy of this book in Logos. The digital copy found on other sites does not include any of the Logos benefits/helps.

DMB

I'm not sure how to find it, but this book has been requested with mucho votes. No luck so far. We do have some of his monographs.

Jeff

When I did a search for the book prior to posting this, it did not pull up anything. But just doing a web search, I found this link to a Logos Forum post from 2021: https://community.logos.com/discussion/198492/the-hebrew-bible-a-translation-with-commentary-by-robert-alter
