arnehalbakken Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 It would be nice to have Robert Alter's translation of the Hebrew Bible as an Accordance module. http://books.wwnorton.com/books/978-0-393-29249-7/ ISBN 978-0-393-29249-7 Here's how Norton, the publisher, describes it. "A landmark event: the complete Hebrew Bible in the award-winning translation that delivers the stunning literary power of the original."A masterpiece of deep learning and fine sensibility, Robert Alter’s translation of the Hebrew Bible, now complete, reanimates one of the formative works of our culture. Capturing its brilliantly compact poetry and finely wrought, purposeful prose, Alter renews the Old Testament as a source of literary power and spiritual inspiration. From the family frictions of Genesis and King David’s flawed humanity to the serene wisdom of Psalms and Job’s incendiary questioning of God’s ways, these magnificent works of world literature resonate with a startling immediacy. Featuring Alter’s generous commentary, which quietly alerts readers to the literary and historical dimensions of the text, this is the definitive edition of the Hebrew Bible." https://www.jta.org/2018/11/21/news-opinion/robert-alter-completes-monumental-translation-hebrew-bible "Robert Alter completes his monumental translation of the Hebrew Bible" by David A.M.

jeremyduncan Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 I had to give up and buy this on Kindle instead. Too bad, would have loved to have it in Accordance. But having started using it, it is an excellent work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
