Crowning the list of inspired books that recount Israel’s history is the brilliant and unique story of Esther. Where Ezra-Nehemiah recounts the physical and spiritual reconstruction of God’s exiled people, Esther emphasizes preservation. It presents a dramatic demonstration, rich in irony, of God’s covenant-keeping faithfulness. Despite their disobedience and unfaithfulness to Him, God preserves His people by His silent and invisible hand of providence. It is a story that ultimately prefigures the unthinkable plot twist in God’s gracious gospel.
