Beal focuses particularly on the traditionally marginalised book of Esther, in order to examine closely the categories of self and other in relation to religion, sexism, nationalism, and the ever-looming legacies and future possibilities of annihilation. Beal applies the critical tools of contemporary theorists, such as Cixous, Irigaray and Levinas, challenging widely held assumptions about the moral and life-affirming message of Scripture and even about the presence of God in the book of Esther. The Book of Hiding draws together a variety of different perspectives and disciplines, creating a unique space for dialogue raising new questions and reconsidering old assumptions, which is profoundly interesting and well-articulated.Biblical limits.Group identityBiblical teachingGroup identityBiblical teaching.222/.906Beal Timothy K(Timothy Kandler),1963-1853693MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910965155903321The book of hiding4450309UNINA
