Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book re-examines the Book of Esther from a historical viewpoint, arguing against the idea that it is a legend and presenting evidence that the events described did indeed happen. The author presents an alternative theory, arguing that a certain event during the Persian period, well-known from non-Biblical sources, must have had disastrous consequences for the Jews of the Persian Empire and that the story of Esther in the Bible presents the solution to this crisis. Through thorough analysis of the Biblical narrative, the author presents the historical context of the events as well as the religious and social climate of Persian-controlled Judea. Ultimately, the true subject of this book is the struggle between religious zealotry and tolerance, and how such struggles can lead to misunderstandings and conflict over time. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
