Overview

The last historical events depicted in the Old Testament are recorded in the books of Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther. Following the heart wrenching turmoil of exile, Ezra and Nehemiah led God’s people in the reconstruction of the temple and wall in Jerusalem. Their stories—and the remarkable tale of Esther from the same period—vividly demonstrate God’s faithfulness and mercy, setting in motion events that would culminate in the New Testament era and the coming of Christ.

This collection contains 1,500 pages of interpretation, application, and contextual studies drawn from noted authors such as William Kelly, Thomas Kelly Cheyne, E.W. Bullinger, and John Gifford Bellett. They have had an enduring impact on Old Testament exegesis, providing easy access to a wealth of significant scholarship.

Closely affiliated with the Plymouth Brethren, Kelly writes with great reverence to Scripture as the supreme authority over doctrine and Christian living.

William Kelly (1823–1906) was born in Ireland and moved to London after attending Trinity College in Dublin. Deeply involved with the Plymouth Brethren, he also became a prolific writer, earning the respect of theologians such as Charles Spurgeon.

  • Publication Date: 1890
  • Pages: 44

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

Malachi Taylor was committed to the idea that the Bible presents a unified narrative centered on how the life and work of Christ reconciles humanity to God. In this commentary, Taylor takes up the challenge of finding this narrative in a book of the Bible that never mentions God. Working through the book passage by passage, Taylor documents how Esther, though it never mentions God, “tells the story of his heart.”

Malachi Taylor (1827–1897) was a nineteenth century minister at Temple Court. He is also the author of The Book of the Acts: Notes of Temple Court Scripture Readings and Epistle to the Romans: Notes of Temple Court Readings.

  • Publisher: E.W. Bullinger
  • Publication Date: 1891
  • Pages: 7

In this brief work, ultradispensationalist theologian E.W. Bullinger examines perhaps the most well-known literary aspect of Esther: the absence of God’s name. Bullinger argues that, though God is not once referred to, “on every page his hand is seen and his providence is manifested.”

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

In this short work, R.J. Reid explores the well-known absence of God’s name in the book of Esther. Reid argues that, though God does not explicitly reveal himself in Esther, he still carries out his providential plan. He shows how God remains active in thwarting the plans of the mighty and coming to the aid of the week, in order to bring glory to his name among all peoples.

R.J. Reid was an evangelical Bible scholar in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
