Description
The story of Esther, set in ancient Persia during the fifth century BC, is one of bravery and unity. When the Jews were threatened with genocide, a decree ordered the extermination of young and old, women and children. However, through the courage of Esther and her stepfather, as well as the unity of the Jewish people, this crisis was averted. This book provides an in-depth exploration of the events leading up to and following the story of Esther. It also reveals the God who works behind the scenes to order the events of our lives. With its historical context and biblical commentary, this volume offers a thoughtful analysis of the book of Esther and its significance for readers today.
