Robert Alter (Professor Emeritus at the University of California, Berkeley) is one of the best-known names in Biblical Studies. His popular book The Art of Biblical Narrative has influenced a generation of readers to value the literary artistry and unity of the Hebrew Bible.

In this interview conducted by Dr. Yeshaya Gruber of the Israel Bible Center, Robert Alter discusses his own newly completed translation, The Hebrew Bible: A Translation with Commentary, first published in its entirety in 2019.
