Esther tells the captivating story of a Jewish child who became queen of an empire and saved her people from destruction. It is the only book in the Bible which does not mention God by name. Yet God is present throughout the story—operating providentially, sustaining his people in exile. Studies on Esther (4 Vols.) aims to understand the book of Esther more clearly—its origins, its inclusion in the canon, and its place in the modern interpretation of Scripture.
