Tobias / Judit / Ester - Backcover

The book of Esther is based on a drama, with the constant threat against Judaism standing in the foreground. This is the case for all the events, and it is more than just a spiritual threat. The Jewish religion, of course, encounters traditions against its own regulations while it is among pagans. This makes the situation of the diaspora of the Jewish people even more meaningful, as well as the figure of Haman, ruled by a desire for revenge against this people he wants to destroy. Esther, likely borrowed from Persian literature, displays the steadfastness of the Jews, who are threatened by a pogrom. Esther = Ischtar or Astarte Mordecai = (Diminutive form of Marduk (city god of Babylon)) (He did not kneel down before Haman, incurring Haman's wrath). Without a doubt, this story reflects a kind of mercy of inspiration. The weak text and poor condition of the little book handed down to us in Greek, displays more of this than it does in Hebrew. The latter, however, has gained the recognition of the Jews. Despite all of this, however, the believer receives one of the most magnificent teachings available on the relationship between man and God. God's control determines the destinies of the righteous.
