Though this commentary is dated, it is a consistently reliable and carefully-researched text for readers new to Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther. It not only introduces the events of the books but also prevailing theological perspectives on these books. Clines work on Esther has been foundational to most work on the book since this commentary appeared. He’s well aware of its narrative structure and how this contributes to the book’s theology.

Strong bibliographies and introductions. In Esther God's existence is a premise not requiring mention. [Full Review]
