A broad but detailed survey of major trends in Second Temple Jewish thought provides the basis for a new understanding of the purpose and meaning of the book of Esther. Focusing on intertextual relationships, Koller examines how early reactions to Esther were overwhelmingly negative and why opinions changed.
