The Book of Esther in Modern Research cover

The proceedings of a symposium entitled Esther 2000 held in Lincoln and Omaha, Nebraska in April 2000, the book contains a collection of essays that engages all aspects of the biblical book of Esther. From questions of textual criticism to the history of rabbinic interpretation to speculation on the modern form of commentary, this collection is sure to contain something for everyone interested in the book of Esther. Contributors include such well-known Esther scholars as Michael Fox, David Clines, and Carey Moore.

"The work is neatly arranged into categories and sections covering similar themes, and gives the reader a very good impression of many aspects of research into the book of Esther....for anyone interested on the study of the book of Esther, this is an excellent collection." -RRT (Reviews in Religion and Theology), 12.1, 2/05
"The entire collection attests to the richness of the story of Esther and to its timeliness in today's world, as many people wrestle with questions of identity and faithfulness in the midst of alienation and assimilation." -The Catholic Biblical Quarterly, 67, 2005 * Catholic Biblical Quarterly *
