Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Book of Esther is a thrilling story about how Esther and Mordecai averted the plan to annihilate the Jewish people in the Persian period. Both its many textual versions and different readings in various media imply a wealthy interpretive tradition of the story. For centuries, readers have been fascinated by the narratives suspense and drama, its courageous and smart Jewish protagonists, and its happy ending. However, the story has also troubled generations of readers. Among other things, Hamans genocidal plan and his Jew-hatred, the lack of references to God, and the battle scenes before the celebration of Purim in the ninth chapter have led to intensive and often contradicting discussions among interpreters.Standing on the shoulders of an amazingly rich history of interpretation, this volume gathers innovative research on core aspects of the book that challenge long-held scholarly assumptions. The articles in this volume trace the reception history from antiquity to modern times among Jewish, Christian, and Islamic circles, discussing the story of Esther in, for instance, its Hebrew and Greek versions, Targum, Babylonian Talmud, the synagogue paintings in Dura Europos, and the Lutheran reformation. In bringing together experts working with comparative material and interdisciplinary approaches to identity, belonging, gender, migration, violence, horror, fan fiction, and social media, this volume offers fresh perspectives and invites readers to reshape their understanding of the Book of Esther.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - This book reveals how violent pasts were constructed by ancient Mediterranean societies, the ideologies they served, and the socio-political processes and institutions they facilitated. Combining case studies from Anatolia, Egypt, Greece, Israel/Judah, and Rome, it moves beyond essentialist dichotomies such as 'victors' and 'vanquished' to offer a new paradigm for studying representations of past violence across diverse media, from funerary texts to literary works, chronicles, monumental reliefs, and other material artefacts such as ruins. It thus paves the way for a new comparative approach to the study of collective violence in the ancient world.…

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Lautenschlaeger Award 2023. Diese Studie untersucht eine der drastischsten und umstrittensten Gewaltdarstellungen der hebräischen Bibel: Das Esterbuch erzählt von der Abwendung der geplanten Vernichtung des jüdischen Volkes in der Perserzeit. Das gelingt durch die Interaktion der jüdischen Protagonisten mit dem Perserhof, aber auch durch den Einsatz militärischer Gewalt. Das neunte Kapitel berichtet davon, wie die persischen Juden zehntausende ihrer Feinde töten, bevor sie das Purimfest feiern. Die vorliegende Arbeit fragt nach den literarhistorischen, traditionsgeschichtlichen und historischen Wurzeln dieser Darstellung. Sie baut jüngere Forschungsansätze zur hellenistischen Datierung der hebräischen Estererzählung aus und verortet diese im soziopolitischen Kontext der Hasmonäerzeit (2. Jh. v.u.Z.). Mit einem Vergleich der hebräischen Textfassung mit den beiden griechischen Esterbüchern bietet sie einen Einblick in einen dynamischen Gewaltdiskurs der hellenistisch-römischen Literatur und zeigt zugleich auf, dass die Estererzählungen mit ihren Gewaltdarstellungen in konkrete historische Situationen hineinsprechen.…
