What to read after Character and Ideology in the Book of Esther?

Contends that the Book of Esther's portrayal of Haman, in contrast to that of the other characters, shows that the author chose to examine and denounce the antisemite. Argues that Haman's hostility toward the Jews is based primarily on personal factors (e.g. distended pride, insecurity), although other factors, such as tribal antagonism, play a secondary part. Haman makes antisemitism an instrument for achieving revenge. Contends that the Book of Esther considers the Jews' enemies to be those who wish to harm them, and does not equate antisemites with the whole Gentile world, as some scholars attest. Refutes the assertion that events like the Jews' conduct in the war display aggressiveness. The war was initially defensive, although not without some moral problems.
