Felicity's Reviews > Faith Among the Faithless: Learning from Esther How to Live in a World Gone Mad

I really enjoyed the way Cosper links our current experience as Christians in a highly secular culture to Esther, pointing out that we are not like Daniel, but far more like Esther, who had assimilated into the culture she was born into, often hiding her Jewish heritage. At times I felt he took a bit of poetic license with the story, and perhaps stretched a few too many metaphors, but mostly I thought it was a great analysis of both the Jewish significance of the story and its relevance for the Christian church today. Really liked the Christology (taken from Keller) in how Esther’s entering the throne room to save her people mirrors Jesus entering God’s throne room and facing his wrath to save us from the penalty for our sins.
