ESTHER'S FEAST
Tull, Patricia K.
This PW Bible study for 2001-2002 is based on 9- sessions.

and even anti-Judaism. Esther is unusual among books of
the Bible in that, throughout the story as it appears sin
the Hebrew text and is best known to Protestants, God
never appears, nor is even mentioned. Prayer, worship,
sacrifice, and the law never come into play.

words, which reflect the social, historical, and cultural
circumstances of their ancient time.
