Bible Question: in referring to authorship of the book of Esther whatis the view of the traditional view vs scholarly view? |
Bible Answer: Greetings and welcome to the SBF, There is no indication of who wrote Esther. There may be some who think they know, but I wouldn't agree with anyone. Since it was written from a Jewish view, most think it is written by a Jew ... and the lack of Greek words may indicate it was written before the fall of the Persian Empire to the Greeks in 331 BC. |
