Esther: An Introduction and Commentary Volume 13

By Debra Reid

Book Overview

The place: Persia. The time: fifth-century BC. The Jews were threatened with genocide. A decree ordered the extermination of young and old, women and children. The book of Esther describes how this crisis was averted through the bravery of Esther, the wisdom of Mordecai and the unity of the Jewish people. Debra Reid's approachable commentary helps us see even more clearly in the book of Esther the God who quietly --and sometimes unexpectedly-- works behind the scenes to order the events of our lives.This completely new volume replaces the previous editon of Esther in the Tyndale Commentary series written by Joyce Baldwin.
