This work has some good insights into the book of Esther, however, the author's politics creep in to the point that the book is not helpful in many section. For instance, in the exegesis on chapter 1 the focus becomes feminism and gender roles rather than the providence of God at work. In the third chapter, the author's politics come out even more when she attacks American culture's laws on birth control and abortion. Though in general SHBC is a good series, I might skip this work in favor of other authors with similar levels of insight that do not bring politics into play.
