Excerpt from The Book of Esther in the Light of History
In placing this novel interpretation Of the Book Of Esther for the consideration Of Biblical and Semitic scholars, I am far from deluding myself into the belief that it will immediately find ready acceptance. As far as the modern critics are concerned, the non-historical character Of the Book Of Esther is at present with them the standard Opinion, and my interpretation would come into collision with what may be properly termed a dogmatic bias. Conservative scholars, on the other hand, might look askance at an interpretation Of a Biblical narrative, which on numerous points deviates from the traditional views. However, the only aim Of scholarship, be it modem or conservative, is truth, and if my solution Of this Biblical problem has attained that goal, I may rest assured that it will finally prevail, notwithstanding the current Opinions.
