This addition to the Old Testament Guides series studies the only
two biblical books to have been named after women, and finds them
refreshingly different. A rich field of new writing on Esther is
surveyed, showing that this exotic book is emerging from a long
period under a cloud to make valuable contributions to a number of
current debates: what makes a biblical text theologically valuable
or dangerous - and how do our perceptions change? what is the
relation beween history and theology? what is the status of variant
forms of the biblical tradition? how does the book achieve its
literary impact? - and, of course, what contribution does it make
to feminist biblical studies? Ruth is more of an established
favourite in the biblical canon. The Guide tackles the elusive
questions of its dating and the nature of its relationship to
Israelite law, as well as the contrivance of its literary beauty
and the subtlety of its theology. The needs of students studying
Ruth as a set text in Hebrew are taken into account, but the Guide
follows the series as a whole in catering primarily for those
studying English text.>
