This book teaches that God’s providence is evident in every facet of life, and we cannot escape Him. While the name “God” never appears in the book of Esther, we gain a unique perspective of Jewish life under the Persians prior to their return from exile. While God’s purposes are often hidden, we can be confident of God’s care and provision.

 You will notice the teaching style of T. E. Lee consistently includes these components:

• • The verse text in Greek (from the Septuagint)
  • The verse text in English
  • A definition of words from the original language
  • An exegesis of the text
  • Supplementary quotes by revered theologians 

This Study Guide was initially intended as a series of Sunday School lessons and is equally useful for sermon preparation or individual Bible study.
