John Calvin

“In Esther we see how God governs the events of the world in secret, guiding all things to His appointed end, even when His name is not mentioned.”

Charles Spurgeon

“The Book of Esther is a record of wonders without the miracle; God is everywhere present, yet nowhere visible.”

Matthew Henry

“Though the name of God be not in Esther, the finger of God is; His care for His people shines in every turn of the story.”

Rabbi Jonathan Sacks

“Esther teaches that courage is not the absence of fear but the decision that something else is more important. In her, we see how one life, lived faithfully, can change the destiny of a people.”
