Michael V. Fox is the Halls-Bascom Professor of Hebrew Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He is also the author of A Time to Tear Down and a Time to Build Up: A Rereading of Ecclesiastes.
PRAISE FOR THE FIRST EDITION: A first-rate study of the Book of
Esther.
-- Roland Murphy in Catholic Biblical Quarterly This is an
excellent contribution not only to the study of Esther but to the
literary study of the Hebrew Bible as well.
-- John J. Collins in The Journal of Religion The strengths of
Fox's scholarship are readily apparent throughout this work. Fox's
engagement with the text and the history of scholarship prevents
the work from becoming 'popular' in the banal sense. The
translation of Esther is superb, combining Hebrew philological
expertise with English literary sensitivity. Balanced insight fills
the pages.
-- John W. Wright in Journal of Biblical Literature
