- Summary:
- "Known for its violence and lack of religious language, the biblical Esther story seems an unlikely source for understanding God's ongoing presence in creation. Thomas Wetzel challenges the reader to look beneath the story's surfaces to find God, Israel, and a world rich in religious meaning." --Provided by publisher
