The Book of Esther is one of two books of the Bible to be set
entirely outside of the Promised Land, and the only book which does
not mention God at all. In this cogent, readable study, David Firth
explores The Message of Esther, to help us better understand this
paradoxically important book and its implications for our own
contemporary context. With clear insight, he lay out how the
reality of God's presence is experienced against a backdrop of
God's relative anonymity and seeming absence, and shows us how that
speaks into the lives of Christians today. A revised volume in the
trusted Bible Speaks Today series of commentaries, The Message of
Esther offers an accessible and thought-provoking exposition of
Esther's story, that considers its meaning for both its original
audience and for Christians in the twenty-first century. Used by
Bible students and teachers around the world, The Bible Speaks
Today commentaries are ideal for students and preachers who want to
deepen their understanding of Scripture as it was first written as
well as its continued relevance today. This beautifully redesigned
edition has been sensitively updated to include modern references
and use the NIV Bible text. The Message of Esther is perfect for
anyone looking for a stimulating, accessible commentary on Esther
that will help them apply its lessons to their everyday life.
