'Hidden in Plain Sight' explores the potential contours of reading
biblical narrative. The Old Testament book of Esther is used to
advance a prospective shape for this reading method, and proposes a
profile for curriculum design. The author shows that the text of
Scripture itself advances a reading method. Esther is an
underestimated heroine in her story world. Her character is
informed by the silent actions of Vashti and by the intentionality
of Mordecai. She is confronted by a writing that offers her few
options, and each of these options is deconstructed and focussed in
community dialogue. At a pivotal stage in the narrative, she acts
in solidarity with those under a death threat, emerging as an agent
of life. Esther s actions and speeches are traced as one entry into
a story world, proposing a means for students of Scripture to gain
appreciable reading skills via sensitivity to the general
components of Old Testament narrative. This reading informs a study
method enabling direct engagement with a text, and appreciation for
the art of literary crafting. The approach is suitable for
Christian education and for biblical study settings at the academic
level, as well as well as use in discussion groups. Robert P.
Debelak, Jr, is Associate Professor of Biblical Studies at Lee
University, Tennessee, USA.
