Sinopsis

Widely praised as a seminal contribution to the study of the Old Testament when it first appeared, Michael V. Fox?s Character and Ideology in the Book of Esther is now available in a second edition, complete with an up-to-date critical review of recent Esther scholarship. Fox?s commentary, based on his own translation of the Hebrew text, captures the meaning and artistry of Esther?s inspiring story. After laying out the background information essential for properly reading Esther, Fox offers commentary on the text that clearly unpacks its message and relevance. Fox also looks in depth at each character in the story of Esther, showing how they were carefully shaped by the book?s author to teach readers a new view of how to live as Jews in foreign lands.
