Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture
Edited by Marco Conti
General Editor Thomas C. OdenThe church fathers, as they did in earlier books dealing with Israel's history from the time of Joshua to the united monarchy, found ample material for typological and moral interpretation in 1-2 Kings, 1-2 Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah and Esther.

paperbackThe Message of Esther
The Bible Speaks Today Series
by David G. Firth
The book of Esther tells the dramatic story of how the destruction of the Jews was averted through the bravery of Esther, the wisdom of Mordecai, and the unity of the Jewish people.

More than that, Esther is the only book in ...

Reformation Commentary on Scripture

The Reformation era revolution in preaching and interpreting the Bible did not occur without keen attention to the Old Testament Scriptures. This is especially true with regard to the Hebrew prophets. Ezekiel and Daniel, replete with startling, unnerving imagery and visions, apocalyptic oracles of judgment and destruction, captivated the reformers as they sought to understand their time and themselves ...

And not only did they have something to say to their original audience, but God continues to speak through their words in ways that are of utmost importance for ...
