The book of Esther is one of the most challenging books in the
Hebrew Bible/Old Testament, not only because of the difficulty of
understanding the book itself in its time, place, and literary
contexts, but also for the long and tortuous history of
interpretation it has generated in both Jewish and Christian
traditions. In this volume, Isaac Kalimi addresses both issues. He
situates 'traditional' literary, textual, theological, and
historical-critical discussion of Esther alongside comparative
Jewish and Christian interpretive histories, showing how the former
serves the latter. Kalimi also demonstrates how the various
interpretations of the Book of Esther have had an impact on its
reception history, as well as on Jewish-Christian relations. Based
on meticulous and comprehensive analysis of all available sources,
Kalimi's volume fills a gap in biblical, Jewish, and Christian
studies and also shows how and why the Book of Esther became one of
the central books of Judaism and one of the most neglected books in
Christianity.
