Those two features make Esther one of the most fascinating portions of Scripture. This episode originated as a written article for The Biblical Mind online magazine, entitled, “The Story of Esther as Redemptive Humor in the Bible: When God Lets Us in on the Joke of Empire.” You can find the text version of the article at the following link.
