This Bible Isn’t Christian… But It’s Fascinating (Robert Alter Review)

Is The Hebrew Bible: A Translation with Commentary something Christians should read? In this video, I take a closer look at one of the most unique and widely discussed modern translations of the Old Testament — and offer an honest, thoughtful review.

Translated by Robert Alter, this edition of the Hebrew Bible focuses on the literary beauty, structure, and rhythm of the original Hebrew text. It’s not a typical study Bible, and it’s not written from a Christian perspective — which raises important questions for many readers.

In this review, I walk through:
• what makes Alter’s translation unique
• the strengths of his literary approach
• the theological differences Christians should be aware of
• and how (and if) this Bible fits into a Christian reading of Scripture

Whether you’ve been curious about this edition or just want to better understand how translation and perspective shape what we read, I hope this video helps you think more clearly and read more deeply.
