Esther and Her Elusive God

Challenging traditional interpretations, this book reexamines the characters of Esther and Mordecai, suggesting they may not embody the piety often attributed to them. It questions how their story became a biblical narrative despite their apparent indifference to ancestral faith. The author calls for a fresh reading of Esther, urging Christians to embrace its secular elements while uncovering a deeper message of God's grace and faithfulness to a wayward people, rather than conforming it to conventional theological frameworks.
