Often it seems as if the Bible and Man’s history are two separate timelines that will never intersect. Yet, through careful study, it becomes clear that our biblical heroes were more than just stories: they were part of our timeline.

This historical commentary combines the biblical account of Esther with excerpts from James Ussher’s Annals of the World, Flavius Josephus, Herodotus, and other historians in an attempt to compare history with the Scriptures and connect ancient mysteries in a way few scholars have ever considered.

The full-colored pages, timeline of events, classical biblical artwork, and informative passages from outside research strive to complement the Bible while still keeping God’s Word as the ultimate authority. This is the book of Esther for the historians, theologians, pastors, youth pastors, scholars, and the average curious reader.
