Helpful and worthwhile

Solid scholarly analysis of Esther, well-informed and carefully considered -- though after research in a number of other commentaries, I found I could not agree with all of Baldwin's interpretations. However, there aren't many other user-friendly commentaries on Esther out there, and this one is detailed and reliable, if not always particularly lively. Folks teaching on Esther should also consider Karen Jobes's excellent commentary in the NIV Application series; it's absolutely indispensable.
