The Book of Esther between Judaism and Christianity

Beschreibung

Engages 'traditional' historical-critical analysis of Esther, situated alongside comparative Jewish and Christian traditions, while exemplifying how the former serves the latter. This volume demonstrates how the different interpretations of the biblical text have crucial impacted on those receptions and on Jewish-Christian relation.
