According to the present jewish & christians scholars, what is the reliability of the historicity of the book of esthar?
NO ANSWER????
except short? [probably the shortest answer of short; i was laughing looking at the length of short's answer:totally unexpected]
OK, LET ME ANSWER THEN::
=> THERE is also a HAMAN mentioned in the QURAN.
QURAN 28:38
And Pharaoh said, "O eminent ones, I have not known you to have a god other than me. Then ignite for me, O Haman, [a fire] upon the clay and make for me a tower that I may look at the God of Moses. And indeed, I do think he is among the liars."
=> DURING 1600'S when the biblical scholars first started oriental studies of QURAN, [they were afraid of the increasing number of muslims & were desperate in search of at-least one fault of quran] they said, AH! WE GOT AN ERROR IN THE QURAN! THE QURANIC HAMAN IS A MINISTER OF STONE QUERIES UNDER A KING OF PHARAO & THE HAMAN OF BIBLE WAS --AT THE 5TH CENTURY BC, THE MINISTER OF STONE QUERIES UNDER KING XERXES WHO MADE THE TOWER OF BABLE. they said, MUHAMMAD (saw) must've heard the story from any priest(nauzubillah) & must've mixed up & made HAMAN,A MINISTER OF STONE QUERIES UNDER PHARAO.
//what is the reliability of the historicity of the book of esthar?//
//since when it is denied by the highest scholars?//
=> SINCE the documented history started to prove the historicity of BOOK OF ESTHAR totally unreliable, all the body of catholic scholarship AT LATE 1800'S unaniously denied their own book ESTHAR as a valid source of history. they said,it is a book where histories has made-up. HA HA!
=> CURRENTLY NOW in the JEWISH ENCLYCOPEDIA it is confirmed that the BOOK OF ESTHAR has NO HISTORICAL VALUE.
ARCHEOLOGICAL EVIDENCES OF MY CLAIM::
= Professor Jon Levenson, Albert A. List Professor of Jewish Studies at the Harvard Divinity School, says:
Even if we make this questionable adjustment, the historical problems with Esther are so massive as to persuade anyone who is not already obligated by religious dogma to believe in the historicity of the biblical narrative to doubt the veracity of the narrative.

= Similar assessments made by Lewis Paton and Carey Moore and they both arrived at the same conclusion that the story in the Book of Esther is not historical. The views of Judaeo-Christian scholars concerning the historicity of the Book of Esther and its characters have been succinctly described by Adele Berlin, one of the editors of the Jewish Study Bible. She said,
Very few twentieth-century Bible scholars believed in the historicity of the book of Esther, but they certainly expended a lot of effort justifying their position. Lewis Bayles Paton, in 1908, wrote fourteen pages outlining the arguments for and against historicity and concluded that the book is not historical. In 1971 Carey A. Moore devoted eleven pages to the issue and arrived at the same conclusion. In more recent commentaries, those of Michael V. Fox in 1991 and Jon D. Levenson in 1997, we find nine and five pages respectively, with both authors agreeing that the book is fictional. You might notice that the number of pages is going down, probably because all the main points were laid out by Paton, and if you are going to rehash an argument you should do it in fewer pages than the original.

In the presence of these analogies there is no more reason why one should assume a historical basis for the story of Est. than for these other admittedly unhistorical works which it so closely resembles.
