Having zoomed-in on a number of examples of the interaction between Esther and Islamic cultures throughout the book, in this chapter we defocus our gaze, zoom out and consider the wider ramifications of the study, as a whole, to “Islamic studies”, “biblical studies”, and “Jewish studies”, respectively. In doing this, the main points made in the book are summarized and reviewed according to contributions made to each of these scholarly fields. Moreover, it is argued that there is merit in adopting a comparative approach to certain topics in the fields of Near and Middle Eastern studies, despite the recent trend towards specializing within these fields. In particular, it is suggested that future study of the “Persian” books of the Bible might benefit from recourse to Islamic-era Persian materials.
