1576:... translates the name Ahasuerus as Artaxerxes," which do not go to the question of whether the "Historical Reading" is supported by scholarship. Indeed, much of the unsourced portion contains unsupported statements that linking a character in Esther with a historical person in history renders the Book of Esther historical. If there was scholarly support, that would be one thing. But there is none cited. It appears that this section derives largely from the independent research of contributors. 243: 1287: 1266: 1472: 733: 1220: 1195: 307: 1111: 1090: 620: 599: 515: 494: 1376: 402: 1462: 1444: 1355: 1121: 630: 381: 203: 525: 412: 234: 1572:, which include such statements as "the presumed-reliable sources with which Coogan contrasts the book of Esther are not, in fact, reliable, then Coogan's claims regarding Esther cannot be said to hold historical weight," should probably be reversed altogether. There is also a lengthy discussion of Herodotus whose relevance to the Book of Esther is several times removed. 1621: 297: 276: 1583:
I am also surprised that there is not a stand-alone section on the centrality of the Book of Esther to the Jewish holiday of Purim. Although this is mentioned in the Intro and occasionally in the body, there should be a section on the liturgical and ritualistic usage of this Book in Judaism (and, if

However, although both sections are too long, the Historical Reading section contains a 5 year-old tag correctly stating that this section requires additional citations. That is still the case. That section is almost completely unsourced, and the only sources are for statements like the "Septuagint

In its current state, an extremely large percentage of this article (at least a third) is devoted to the "Historicity" and "Historical Reading" sections, which come across to the lay reader as an overly convoluted internal debate between warring factions. Reading this Talk section, perhaps this is a

A feminist theologian (which is something else than a radical feminist) discussing a Bible book whose hero is a woman is a decent division of work. If the IP means that everyone who is not a fundamentalist or a conservative evangelical is a liberal theologian, then she is a liberal theologian. But

Due to the excessive length and undue importance this article gives to the historicity question in its current iteration, I would recommend collapsing the "Historicity" section into at most two paragraphs and deleting almost entirely the "Historical Reading" section.

The vast majority of modern expositors have reached the conclusion that the book is a piece of pure fiction, although some writers qualify their criticism by an attempt to treat it as a historical romance.

There may be some factual nucleus behind the Esther narrative, but the book in its present form displays such inaccuracies and inconsistencies that it must be described as a piece of historical fiction.

Whatever the cause, both sections are unwieldy and argumentative, and create the impression that the overriding question about the Book of Esther is whether it is historically accurate. Recent edits by
