As I was studying for this week's small group lesson, I read a blog post about the Book of Esther. It "is the most “secular” of the biblical books, making no reference to God’s name, to the Temple, to prayer, or to distinctive Jewish practices. . ."
If fact this particular writer offers the theory that Esther, for several reasons, is perhaps imaginative storytelling rather than an actual set of events.
Interesting food for thought.
