Although its author is unknown, Esther bears the marks of an author very close to the events recorded. In Jewish tradition, it is often attributed to Esther’s cousin, Mordecai, but it contains no autograph. The events described in the book occurred in 483–473 BC and the book was written soon after. It’s a very unique book. First, it’s one of only two books in the Bible named after women: Ruth and Esther. Second, it’s the only book in the Bible that doesn’t mention God a single time! So, why’s it in the Bible? Because even though God’s name is absent, His hand isn’t! You can see God working behind the scenes throughout the story. The book of Esther is in the Bible to show us that even when God seems silent, He is still sovereign, working behind the scenes to preserve His people and accomplish His saving purposes.
