Produktinformationen zu „Character and Ideology in the Book of Esther (PDF)“
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. Fox's commentary, based on his own translation of the Hebrew text, captures the meaning and artistry of Esther's inspiring story. 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.

2008 / 2009 - Michael V. Fox received Ph.D. at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, where he studied Biblical Studies and Egyptology. He taught in Israel for several years and came to Madison in 1977, where he teaches in the Department of Hebrew and Semitic Studies. In 1991 he was named Max and Frieda Weinstein-Bascom Professor in Jewish Studies and in 1999 Halls-Bascom Professor of Hebrew. He spent 2006 in Israel, first on sabbatical, then as George Mosse Exchange Professor at the Hebrew University. His field of research is the literature and thought of biblical Israel.
