| Jul 3, 2013 at 14:28 | comment | added | Monica Cellio | I have heard that some Christian translations add God into the book of Esther because the idea of a book without an explicit mention of God was considered unacceptable. I don't know more details. | |

| Jun 10, 2012 at 3:56 | comment | added | Shemmy | @dancek - What Christians call the "Old Testament" and the Jewish Tanach are not actually exactly the same books but in a different order. The Book of Isaiah, for example, is radically different. I mean that there are numerous differences above and beyond translations being different. Translations are, of course, linguistic interpretations that follow ideological perspectives. | |
