Armed with a Cross mechanical pencil and thin-lined paper, UC Berkeley professor and translator Robert Alter spent almost a quarter-century translating the entire Hebrew Bible into English. His completed work, which includes commentary, aims to preserve the style and rhythm of the original Hebrew prose and poetry. Now, Alter has written a book about the process called “The Art of Bible Translation.” He joins us in studio to discuss his vision, and why the world needed a new translation of its most translated book.
