Alter has the soul of a poet, the fine art of a writer, and the heart of a biblical adherent. He draws on the wisdom and knowledge of ancient, medieval and modern scholars. He cites ancient versions of the Bible, Hebrew, Greek, Latin and Syriac, along with the most notable translations into English, principally the King's James Version. He has given me a richer appreciation for the latter. As to modern translations in English, he gently points out their inadequacies. His Mastery of Hebrew gives the reader both an understanding of how the biblical authors thought and an appreciation for how Hebrew uniquely expresses this uniqueness in thought. I have gone over his translations of the Five Books of Moses and of the Psalms. His mastery of English generously persuades one of his mastery of Hebrew and the other languages of ancient biblical manuscripts.Regards,Marcel Matley

It is always a delight to read books about the Sacred Scriptures written by those who 'are at home' with the Hebrew Language. Robert Alter is one of those -he reads Hebrew as I read English. More than that, he has a 'feeling' and a 'taste' for the Language. He understands the structure and the 'in-built' nature of the Language which enables him to see things that others do not. Reading a Text for such people is more than reading- it penetrates into the heart of the words and his whole mind and heart automatically re-act to what is read. This is shown very clearly as the Author takes the Reader through the saga of stories about David and Jacob. I found them wonderful. Read the book- it will teach you how to approach and read the Sacred Scripture with a Biblical mind. If you do not read Hebrew, the next best thing is to read those who do and learn what the Hebrew Text actually says. It is all very exciting. Happy reading!! Ignotus.

This is an absolutely necessary read for anyone who is interested in better understanding the OT, either at a layman's level or for someone who is interested in serious scholarship of the OT. I highly recommend it for anyone who is simply interested in better understanding the OT but does not have an extensive background in either biblical scholarship or literary criticism. For those who are interested in biblical scholarship this book provides an excellent starting point for understanding the dynamics of literary criticism as applied to the Bible.A rough familiarity with the biblical stories is necessary, though he typically provides his own translation of those sections that he will look at in detail. A basic familiarity with the various approaches in biblical criticism would be extremely helpful for better understanding his goal in writing. A knowledge of Hebrew is not necessary as he always explains significant nuances of the language either in his translations or commentary (though it would, of course, be immensely helpful!).The book is both a defense and demonstration of a literary approach to OT narrative. He provides a brief overview of the history of literary approaches to the Bible, showing how past interpreters of the OT (including sections in the Midrash) have on occasion made observations that approach literary criticism, but that a well-developed system of literary analysis has for the most part been lacking in most OT scholarship. He also theorizes about the reasons why the Hebrew authors should have utilized narrative (as opposed to, for instance, myth) in their theological writings.Most of the book is composed of chapters that expound different techniques used by the biblical authors. After an explanation of the technique, he typically gives examples demonstrating how an understanding of the technique can aid in the interpretation of the text. What I found to be the most interesting parts of the book were his chapter conclusions, where he makes a few observations about the interplay between the theology of the authors and the reasons why they utilized that particular technique.The reader need not agree with either his interpretations nor his assumptions about the origin of the text. In the final chapter he notes that a person can disagree with interpretations, and that his goal was not necessarily a full-fledged commentary on his sections, but merely a demonstration of a particular technique. As for his assumptions of the origin of the text, he makes no claim to his own religious devotion or beliefs. He assumes, for example multiple authors behind the Pentateuch (as most biblical scholars do). Even for a person who is committed to Mosaic authorship, this should not be reason to dismiss his observations about the literary quality of the text, as his primary concern in this book is always the final form of the text.The only minor thing that I can think that MIGHT have made this book better is divisions within the chapter to help the reader better understand when he is transitioning.In sum, this should introduces the student of the Bible to the various techniques used by the authors of the biblical narratives, and trains him/her to ask the right questions about the text when they arise.

This companion volume to "The Art of Biblican Narrative" is equally illuminating although the subject matter is very different. Still, Alter is to my mind the deepest and most perceptive literary analyst I have ever read. His writing is not easy and I sometimes have to look up words he uses -- but he reads so closely and with such sympathy and sensitivity that his insights are often simply revelatory.Here he examines Biblical poetry with close readings from selections of the prophets, the Song of Songs, Pslams, Proverbs and most of all Job. Some of the texts he examines were faily familiar to me. Others not so much.Biblical poetry is based on a technique called "parallelism" rather than on rhyme or meter. Parallelism splits each line into two parts and the second somehow reflects upon, amplifies, intensifies or illuminates the first. The form is quite stiff and unyielding at first sight -- yet Alter shows how in the hands of the anonymous authors whose names are mostly lost to us, it can become an instrument of tremendous power.Anyone interested in the Bible should read this.
