Synopsis
The Jews were threatened with genocide. A decree ordered the extermination of young and old, women and children. The place: Persia. The time: fifth century B.C. The book of Esther describes how this crisis was averted through the bravery of Esther, the wisdom of her stepfather and the unity of the Jewish people. It also reveals the God who quietly--and sometimes unexpectedly--works behind the scenes to order the events of our lives.Joyce Baldwin draws out the beauty and power of this book by discussing its background, structure and theology, and by providing a passage-by-passage analysis of its contents., A young girl wins a beauty contest and becomes queen of a vast empire. An evil villain plots to murder thousands of innocent people. But before the deed is carried out, the queen risks her life and her people are saved. A historical novel? No-the Biblical book of Esther. In this Tyndale Old Testament Commentary (volume 12), Joyce Baldwin helps us look closer at the beauty and power of this little book. Its message reveals the God who quietly-and sometimes unexpectedly-orders the events of our lives., Joyce Baldwin helps us look more closely at the beauty and power of a queen who risked her own life to save her people. The message of the book of Esther reveals the God who quietly--and sometimes unexpectedly--orders the events of our lives.
