商品簡介

This interdisciplinary commentary ranges from early midrashic interpretation to contemporary rewritings introducing interpretations of the only biblical book not to mention God.

Unearths a wealth of neglected rewritings inspired by the story’s relevance to themes of nationhood, rebellion, providence, revenge, female heroism, Jewish identity, exile, genocide and ‘multiculturalism’
Reveals the various struggles and strategies used by religious commentators to make sense of this only biblical book that does not mention God
Asks why Esther is underestimated by contemporary feminist scholars despite a long history of subversive rewritings
Compares the most influential Jewish and Christian interpretations and interpreters
Includes an introduction to the book’s myriad representations in literature, music, and art
Published in the reception-history series, Blackwell Bible Commentaries

名人/編輯推薦

"The author digs up literary echoes and poetic versions of the biblical book of Esther.... This important scholarly resource originated as a PhD thesis in the University of Manchester. It is to be hoped the PhD students can be interested in doing similar research, producing studies as valuable as the present one." (International Review of Biblical Studies, 2007-2008)
"This book can be highly recommended. It provides a fascinating glimpse of how the Bible has shaped … The ideals of society throughout history." (Expository Times, November 2008)
"Carruthers looks at the reception of the text in detail, but also has an introduction to different ways of viewing the biblical book." (Church Times, October 2008)
