"Looking at the Book of Esther through the lens of intertextuality, this collection
considers its connections with each division of the Hebrew Bible, along with texts
throughout history. Through its exploration, it provides and invites further study
into the relationship between Esther and its intertexts, many which are under explored.
Topics covered in the book include considerations of Esther alongside the Torah and
the prophetic books, as well as in dialogue with the Qumran community. As an edited
collection, the book draws together scholars with expertise in the wide variety of
texts that are intertextually connected with Esther, offering the reader a more nuanced
and informed discussion. By including some reflection on the nature of intertextuality
as a 'method', it also enables the reader to appreciate the varying intertextual approaches
currently employed in biblical studies. In applying these to a focused analysis of
Esther, this collection will facilitate greater insight on both the book of Esther
and current methodological research."
