| 1. |  | The Book of Psalms: A Translation with Commentary from W. W. Norton Price: $23.10 Customer Review:  My feelings about Robert Alter's 'The Book of the Psalms' are very much the same as those expressed on his 'The Five Books of Moses'. Both books I find to be very enriching, albeit that 'The Book of the Psalms' is only about 560 pages long! All who love the Psalms I'm sure will find it... |

| 2. |  | The Five Books of Moses: A Translation with Commentary from W. W. Norton Price: $15.20 Customer Review: I have ever had a great love of, and interest in, the Scriptures. From the beginning of my interest I have carried on delving into the background of the Scriptures both from the texts, English, Latin and Greek, and also their historical background. All the commentaries I have studied were... |

| 3. |  | The Art Of Biblical Narrative from Basic Books Price: $15.44 Customer Review:  This book has only one redeeming quality. The author helps you see the artistic, literary aspect of the Bible. He is a typical academic type who believes that the people and places in scripture are all fiction made up to teach about God. It is not at all recommended and I would throw it away... |

| 4. |  | The David Story: A Translation with Commentary of 1 and 2 Samuel from W. W. Norton & Company Price: $11.53 Customer Review:  When Robert Alter writes comments about the text and content of Bible stories, he speaks on the basis of broad knowledge of the language and culture of ancient Israel coupled with deep understanding of the literary forms that shape the stories internally and in relation to each other. Alter's "The... |

| 5. |  | The Art Of Biblical Poetry from Basic Books Price: $15.75 Customer Review: Alter continues here what he started in ' The Art of Biblical Narrative' and applies the techniques of literary criticism to the Biblical text. He does not discard Lowth's discovery of parallelism as the key technique of Biblical poetry but rather sharpens and intensifies the meaning of this... |

| 6. |  | The Literary Guide to the Bible from Belknap Press Price: $23.85 Customer Review: It's a major task "analysing" a book with so many variations and long historical scope. Limiting the parameters to "literary" aspects is hardly a pruning - even when historical elements are essentially stripped away. Alter and Kermode saved themselves some of the labour by farming out much of the... |

| 8. |  | The God of Old: Inside the Lost World of the Bible from Free Press Price: $11.05 Customer Review: Kugel is one of the world's foremost Bible scholars. In this work he makes an effort to understand what he calls , "The God of Old". He distinguishes between the conception of God created in the Babylonian Exile in which God is omnipotent and omniscient. With this he contrasts the "God of Old" Who... |

| 9. |  | The Five Books of Moses: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy (The Schocken Bible, Volume 1) from Schocken Price: $19.80 Customer Review: Never before have I experienced a translation of Old Testament scripture that truly brought me into what the essence of the text was. Fox makes it perfectly clear that these books were written in Hebrew, not English. I would reccommend this translation to anyone who is curious what it is like to... |

| 10. |  | Pleasures of Reading in an Ideological Age from W. W.
