Renowned critic and translator Robert Alter presents the Hebrew Bible as a cohesive literary work, one whose many authors used innovative devices such as parallelism, contrastive dialogue, and narrative tempo to tell one of the most revolutionary stories of human history: the revelation of a single god.

Alter does a very good job, by close-reading he shows that the Bible is superbly well-written, its authors use suspense and other techniques to achieve their literary aims, it is by no means primitive writing. Highly recommend to believers and atheists alike.
