| Summary: | Introduction: Literary aspects ; Original context ; Theological concerns -- Commentary -- Ahasuerus's royal parties (1:1-8) -- Vashti's refusal (1:9-2:4) -- Esther becomes Queen (2:5-20) -- Mordecai versus Haman (2:21-3:15) -- Esther and Mordecai's conversation (4:1-17) -- Esther approaches and hosts (5:1-8) -- Conversations with Haman (5:9-6:14) -- Esther's revelation (7:1-8:2) -- Esther pleads, Mordecai writes (8:3-17) -- The Jews attack their enemies (9:1-19) -- The establishment of Purim (9:20-10:3). "In this commentary, Day addresses both perennial and contemporary concerns pertinent to the book of Esther. Attention is given to literary, linguistic, and thematic features of the biblical text. Day considers the book of Esther with an eye to concerns of gender and ethnicity, as well as the theological concerns raised by divine absence in the story."--Jacket |
