Genesis: Translation and Commentary by Robert Alter

The Book of Genesis is regarded as the bedrock of Western civilization and culture, its stories and language reverberating down the centuries. Robert Alter argues that English readers have not been well served by existing translations. This translation aims to bring the great work to life.

At the University of California, Berkeley, Robert Alter is a professor of Hebrew and Comparative Literature. He is the author of a number of critical books, including The Art of Biblical Storytelling, which won a award.
