Widely praised as a seminal contribution to the study of the Old Testament when it first appeared, Michael V. Fox's Character and Ideology in the Book of Esther is now available in a second edition, complete with an up-to-date critical review of recent Esther scholarship.

After laying out the background information essential for properly reading Esther, Fox offers commentary on the text that clearly unpacks its message and relevance. Fox also looks in depth at each character in the story of Esther, showing how they were carefully shaped by the book's author to teach readers a new view of how to live as Jews in foreign lands.

Among the books of the Old Testament, the book of Esther presents significant interpretive problems. The book has been preserved in Greek and Hebrew texts that diverge greatly from each other. As a result, Jews and Protestants usually read a version of the book of Esther that is several chapters shorter than the one in most Catholic and Orthodox Bibles. Jon D. Levenson capably guides the reader through both the longer Greek version and the shorter Hebrew one, demonstrating their coherence and their differences. This commentary listens to the voices of modern scholarship as well as rabbinic interpretation, providing a wealth of interpretive results

The Jews were threatened with genocide. A decree ordered the extermination of young and old, women and children. The place: Persia. The time: fifth century B.C. The Book of Esther describes how this crisis was averted through the bravery of Esther, the wisdom of her stepfather and the unity of the Jewish people. It also reveals the God who quietly -- and sometimes unexpectedly -- works behind the scenes to order the events of our lives. The author draws out the beauty and power of this book by discussing its background, structure and theology, and by providing a passage-by-passage analysis of its contents.

There has come about in recent years a lamentable tendency to treat certain portions of the Old Testament, like the Book of Esther, as allegories. This has been done with the best of motives, but the process of interpretation as well as the result to the reader, leaves much to be desired. It is refreshing, therefore, to turn to this exposition of The Book of Esther by Dr. Alexander Raleigh of Kensington, England, and find within its pages a careful explanation of the text which places the events squarely in their historic setting and then applies to the reader's life princples drawn from the passage under consideration. These principles are then embellished with information drawn from other portions of Scripture. The net result is the unfolding of the full-orbed teaching of God's Word on the subjects raised in the text. - Dr. Cyril J. Barber.
