Reading the Bible in a Year: Esther
Update: 2025-05-04
Description
Beauty pageants, palace intrigues, genocide and a courageous strong woman! What a story!!
As we work through #TheBibleInAYear, we look at the book of Esther. This book tells the (likely known) story of Esther, a woman first known for her beauty, then her bravery and then finally her cunning.
Beyond serving as a great story about a strong woman, the book brings up bigger questions, pressing for ancient Jews but increasingly relevant for modern Christians, of how much we can (and should) assimilate into a broader culture that doesn't hold to our religious principles.
Note: Sorry for the slight delay in publishing. Some software upgrades slowed down some things on this end. If the sound mixing is off, please let me know.
