Notes: Having just read one book of the Old Testament, I thought I'd go ahead and read the next one.
Mini review: The king of Persia appoints a Jewish woman, Esther, as his queen and she helps stop a genocide of all Jews in the kingdom. And within this story are the origins for the holiday known as Purim. There's very little historical evidence that any of this is true, but that doesn't mean it didn't happen, or something similar, though I won't argue either way. Interestingly enough, God never shows in this book, and for that matter is not even mentioned.
