K.A. Ellis - Böcker

The Book of Esther has spoken to God's people down the ages about faithful endurance under threat, even when God's hand seems hidden. Drawing us into the wider biblical story of exile, persecution, and covenant promise, it shows how God keeps his people through threat and opposition, in the time of Esther and throughout history.In this powerful commentary, K.A. Ellis maps out the themes of providence, identity, hiddenness, fear, boldness, and dramatic reversal in the book of Esther, speaking directly to Christians navigating hostility today. Pointing us to Christ as the true Deliverer, she shows how the covenant faithfulness of God never fails to strengthen, keep, and expand his Kingdom on earth until the day it is fully revealed.ABOUT THE HODDER BIBLE COMMENTARY50 volumes. 4 million words.
