About Esther
The book of Esther occupies a distinctive place within the Bible—remarkably, God's name is never mentioned, yet His sovereign providence is clearly at work throughout this gripping story. Set against the backdrop of the lavish Persian court under King Xerxes I (also called Ahasuerus), the narrative recounts how a Jewish orphan girl rises to become queen and courageously intervenes to rescue her people from annihilation. This account also provides the foundation for the Jewish festival of Purim, celebrating God's miraculous deliverance, and powerfully illustrates that God preserves His covenant people even when He seems hidden.
