Book of Psalms

Religion scholar Robert Alter`s translation of The Book of Psalms captures the unique poetical qualities of what is many people`s favorite biblical work. Alter`s commentary places the Psalms in their religious and historical contexts, explaining the challenges and difficulties of translation, while making them relevant to modern-day readers. As he did in his FIVE BOOKS OF MOSES, Robert Alter delivers a respectful, learned, and accessible version of a classic. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.
