I bought The Book of Psalms by Robert Alter

For some reason I had about $11 of eBay bucks that had to be used today. I’ve got enough books for a while but couldn’t think of anything else I needed. So I looked through my Amazon wish list and found The Book of Psalms: A Translation with Commentary by Robert Alter which has been mentioned a lot on blogs and is highly praised. The cost with shipping was $14.89 and I only had to pay $2.60. Did I do good? What do you think of this book?

  1. 1 Joel H.

    I wrote a review for the Jerusalem Post a while back. It’s here. (The JP revamped their web site, so the links on my website no longer work. Sigh.)

    It’s a good book with valuable information.

  2. 2 Scripture Zealot

  3. 3 Scripture Zealot

    That was very helpful. I learned some things to look for in it.
