Esther: Evangelical Exegetical Commentary (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781577995739)

We've all heard the story of Queen Esther. When her people are threatened, she risks her life to approach King Xerxes, and she ultimately saves the Jews from extinction. But what message does her story convey? And why is God never mentioned? Anthony Tomasino explores such questions in his commentary on the book of Esther. He highlights themes like feasting, the celebration of Purim, sovereignty, the invincibility of the Jews, assertiveness, and reversal. And he applies the story of Esther to the lives of believers today.
