Esther

THE BOOK OF ESTHER

A simple story with layers of meaning, the Book of Esther tells the tale of two Jews living in Persia. Esther becomes the queen, and Mordecai becomes the enemy of the king's principal advisor. As the story unfolds, we read how secret plots overlap and intersect, producing biblical irony. Ultimately, the story of Esther is a story of courage and triumph for God's people.
