Abstract

Der Band untersucht den moralischen Charakter der verschiedenen Textversionen des Buches Ester. Im ersten Teil werden die zwei häufigsten Ansätze zur Behandlung der wahrgenommenen ethischen Probleme in der Ester-Geschichte vorgestellt: Vermeidung und Verwandlung. Anschließend werden ausgesuchte Stellen des masoretischen hebräischen Textes, des griechischen Septuaginta-Textes und des griechischen Alpha-Textes der Ester-Geschichte durch Charakteranalyse auf ethische Fragestellungen hin untersucht. Abschließend befasst sich der Autor schwerpunktmäßig mit der ethischen Mehrdeutigkeit, die in allen drei Fassungen vorkommt, und damit, wie in den griechischen Geschichten der ethische Charakter verwandelt worden ist. This volume explores issues of moral character found in the different text versions of the book of Esther. First the study suggests the two most common approaches to perceived moral problems in the story of Esther: avoidance and transformation. Then it investigates selected portions of the Hebrew Masoretic Text, the Greek Septuagint Text, and the Greek Alpha-Text stories of Esther, focusing on issues of morality via character analysis. Finally it concentrates on the moral ambiguity found in all three versions, and on the ways in which moral character in the Greek stories has been transformed.

Abstract

In this book the author attempts to unravel the original narratives which underlie the biblical Book of Esther. She reconstructs the contents of three non-Jewish narratives: A wedding story, in which the foreign beauty (Esther) takes the place of the disobedient queen, and two court narratives, telling the story of the rivalry between two courtiers at the Persian court. In exilic and postexilic times these basic narratives were merged into one topical and literarily well developed narrative, which expressed the problems connected with Jewish life in the diaspora. The author shows that this text has been redactionally revised once more, in an attempt to adjust Palestinian Judaism to the Jewish communities that flourished in the diaspora. This redaction bears the hallmarks of Judaism’s clash with Hellenised political forces; Purim emerges as a succesful defense.
