Esther Scroll: The Story of the Story

David J.A. Clines

4.9/5 (25104 ratings)

Description:Various methods—text criticism, source criticism, redaction criticism, and literary criticism—are interwoven here in propounding the view that the story of Esther once concluded at an earlier point than it does now in its Masoretic Hebrew form. Five successive versions of the story can in fact be separated out, each with its own distinctive shape and theological perspective.A careful scrutiny of the growth of this intriguing tale with its dual plot of a threat to the life of the Jew Mordecai and a threat to the existence of the Jewish people can only heighten regard for the craftsmanship of the primary narrator.As an appendix, the Greek A-text of Esther, not found in most editions of the Septuagint, is here printed, together with the first translation of it ever published.David J.A.
