Description
For centuries, the story of Esther has captured the minds of master theologians as well as ordinary Bible readers. Yet, despite its popularity, the deeper meaning of the fairy-tale-like narrative of simple peasants rising from rags to riches has seldom been understood. This book rides the sea of adventure with Esther and Mordecai, revealing that there are many signs of virtue strewn on the way to their climactic point. This reading offers an innovative way of understanding biblical characters in a world that is clueless about the value of virtue.
