King Ahasuerus sends away his wife, the queen (1:1–22) 2. Ahasuerus chooses Esther as the new queen (2:1–23) 3. Haman plots to destroy the Jews (3:1–15) 4. Mordecai asks Esther to help her people (4:1–17) 5. Esther pleads with the king for the Jews (5:1–7:10) 6. The result of Haman’s plot to destroy the Jews (8:1–9:16) 7. The Feast of Purim (9:17–32) 8. Conclusion (10:1–3) What is the Book of Esther about? The Book of Esther tells how a young Jewish woman named Esther became the queen of Persia. As queen, she worked to save all the Jews in the Persian Empire from being destroyed. This book ends by telling why the Jews celebrate the festival of Purim. The name “Purim” comes from the word “pur.” It means “lots” or “dice.” Haman, the enemy of Jews, threw dice to choose when to attack and destroy the Jews. The Jews celebrate Purim to remember how Yahweh rescued his people from being destroyed. How should the title of this book be translated? Translators can use the traditional title of this book, which is “The Book of Esther” or just “Esther.” Or they can choose a clearer title, such as “The Book About Esther.” Part 2: Important Religious and Cultural Concepts What was the Persian Empire? King Cyrus the Great conquered and ruled over many kingdoms. This was in the part of the world called Persia, which is now Iran. So people named his kingdom the Persian Empire. When Cyrus conquered Babylonia in 539 B.C., he then controlled the Jews whom the Babylonians had exiled. Why were there Jews in Babylonia when the Persians conquered it? In 586 B.C., the Babylonians conquered and took into exile the people of Judah. These Jews and their descendants were still in Babylon when the Persians conquered it. What was meant by “the laws of the Medes and Persians”? The phrase “the laws of the Medes and Persians” is found in Esther 1:19 and Daniel 6:12. It referred to laws and decrees that could not be changed or removed once they were issued. In the book of Esther, the king made a decree that the people could attack the Jews. Later he regretted that decision but he was not able to change the decree. The term “Medes” refers to a people group that had formed its own nation, but the Persians conquered them. 9 / 409 unfoldingWord® Translation Notes Introduction to Esther Part 3: Important Translation Issues What different levels of language are in the Book of Esther? In the Book of Esther, people talk to each other in many different situations. There is the polite and stately talk in the Persian court and the words of royal decrees. Friends and close relatives also talk to each other. There are even the words that one uses in speaking to oneself. Translators should use all the ways their own language has to express these different situations in a way that their readers will identify and understand. 10 / 409 unfoldingWord® Translation Notes Introduction to Esther :: Esther 1 General Notes Esther 1 Esther 1 General Notes Special concepts in this chapter The king’s divorce The king’s advisers were afraid that husbands would lose their authority when they heard the queen had refused to come to show her beauty to the king’s guests; so the advisers told him to divorce her. 11 / 409 unfoldingWord® Translation Notes Introduction to Esther :: Esther 1:1 Esther 1:1 In the days of Ahasuerus ULT “In the time of Ahasuerus” or “When Ahasuerus was ruling as king” 1 Now it happened in the days of Ahasuerus (he was Ahasuerus, the one this is Ahasuerus who reigned from India as far as who ruled from India even as far as Cush, over 127 provinces Ethiopia, 127 provinces); This is background information to help the reader identify UST Ahasuerus.

  • The Green Sheet and Opposition to American Motion Picture Classification in the 1960S
    The Green Sheet and Opposition to American Motion Picture Classification in the 1960s By Zachary Saltz University of Kansas, Copyright 2011 Submitted to the graduate degree program in Film and Media Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. John Tibbetts ________________________________ Dr. Michael Baskett ________________________________ Dr. Chuck Berg Date Defended: 19 April 2011 ii The Thesis Committee for Zachary Saltz certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: The Green Sheet and Opposition to American Motion Picture Classification in the 1960s ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. John Tibbetts Date approved: 19 April 2011 iii ABSTRACT The Green Sheet was a bulletin created by the Film Estimate Board of National Organizations, and featured the composite movie ratings of its ten member organizations, largely Protestant and represented by women. Between 1933 and 1969, the Green Sheet was offered as a service to civic, educational, and religious centers informing patrons which motion pictures contained potentially offensive and prurient content for younger viewers and families. When the Motion Picture Association of America began underwriting its costs of publication, the Green Sheet was used as a bartering device by the film industry to root out municipal censorship boards and legislative bills mandating state classification measures. The Green Sheet underscored tensions between film industry executives such as Eric Johnston and Jack Valenti, movie theater owners, politicians, and patrons demanding more integrity in monitoring changing film content in the rapidly progressive era of the 1960s. Using a system of symbolic advisory ratings, the Green Sheet set an early precedent for the age-based types of ratings the motion picture industry would adopt in its own rating system of 1968.

  • Raoul Walsh to Attend Opening of Retrospective Tribute at Museum
    The Museum of Modern Art jl west 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 956-6100 Cable: Modernart NO. 34 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE RAOUL WALSH TO ATTEND OPENING OF RETROSPECTIVE TRIBUTE AT MUSEUM Raoul Walsh, 87-year-old film director whose career in motion pictures spanned more than five decades, will come to New York for the opening of a three-month retrospective of his films beginning Thursday, April 18, at The Museum of Modern Art. In a rare public appearance Mr. Walsh will attend the 8 pm screening of "Gentleman Jim," his 1942 film in which Errol Flynn portrays the boxing champion James J. Corbett. One of the giants of American filmdom, Walsh has worked in all genres — Westerns, gangster films, war pictures, adventure films, musicals — and with many of Hollywood's greatest stars — Victor McLaglen, Gloria Swanson, Douglas Fair­ banks, Mae West, James Cagney, Humphrey Bogart, Marlene Dietrich and Edward G. Robinson, to name just a few. It is ultimately as a director of action pictures that Walsh is best known and a growing body of critical opinion places him in the front rank with directors like Ford, Hawks, Curtiz and Wellman. Richard Schickel has called him "one of the best action directors...we've ever had" and British film critic Julian Fox has written: "Raoul Walsh, more than any other legendary figure from Hollywood's golden past, has truly lived up to the early cinema's reputation for 'action all the way'...." Walsh's penchant for action is not surprising considering he began his career more than 60 years ago as a stunt-rider in early "westerns" filmed in the New Jersey hills.

  • Ruth and Esther: Wise Living Far from Home
    Jan/Feb 2017 Ruth and Esther: Wise Living Far from Home ALSO: THE GREatEST STORIES EVER TOLD Friends: Can you imagine having your wallet and phone stolen while visiting in a foreign country? Your identification, passport, cash, bank cards—gone!—and with no means to call for assistance. Imagine being left with nothing but the clothes on your back, lost in a place where you couldn’t even read the signs. I, as a middle-aged white guy, might have the privilege of at least being recognized as a clueless tourist. People might show hospitality to me out of pity. But what if I were part of a despised class of citizens? What if people assumed I were a thief or a homeless person? Being powerless in a foreign land can be both frightening and dangerous. In January, Arie Leder explores the stories of two biblical women who navigate that cliff-edge of being powerless in a foreign land. They act wisely and rely on God’s strength in distressing situations. Then in February, Art Schoonveld turns our attention to the parables of Jesus, showing how Christ illuminated the kingdom of God with real-life stories. These are the greatest stories ever told. May you be refreshed, refocused, and renewed in God’s Word! —Steven Koster To d aJan/Feb 2017 y refresh, refocus, renew TODAY (USPS 185-140), Volume 67, Number 1, published bimonthly by ReFrame Media, a division of Back to God Ministries International, at 6555 West College Drive, Palos Heights, IL 60463.

  • Peril for Hadassah
    July 14, 2019 Esther 4:1-16 PERIL FOR HADASSAH I have bad news and good news. The bad news is, somebody is going to die. The good news is, you get to decide who. Terrible! Straight from the halls of Hell. But for just a split second, before the soul can put up the shields, something inside starts to smile. For just one flashing moment before the shields snap up, can you feel the beginnings of a sardonic glee? What if God had attached a rider to the sixth commandment: “If you are very good and faithful, if you are hard-working and responsible, then once every fifteen years – without guilt, detection, or blame – you may, if you so choose, blink somebody out of this life.” I wonder if there is anybody here who would have exercised that option by now. I wonder if there is anybody here who would not have exercised that option by now. And how many of us think we would still be here? You probably would be. I know for certain that I would not still be here. We are deep into summertime, and in summertime I like to tell Bible stories. Most people in our time do not know the Bible stories as well as many people did a couple of generations ago, so it’s not that I think summertime is a good time to fool around or go off duty. The biblical stories carry a lot of basic meanings and foundational perspectives. They are supposed to be the common heritage – the common language – that makes it possible for us to communicate and to understand each other in matters of faith and religion.

  • Esther As the New Moses: Deliverance Motifs in the Book of Esther
    Esther as the New Moses: Deliverance Motifs in the Book of Esther Lapani Langford Sankhani Nkhonjera Thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Master’s degree of Theology, Department of Old and New Testament in the Faculty of Theology at Stellenbosch University Superviser: Prof. Louis C. Jonker December 2015 1 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Declaration By submitting this thesis, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author and owner of the copyright thereof (unless to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Copyright © 2015 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved 2 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract This study aims to compare the figures of Moses in the Exodus narratives and Queen Esther in the Esther narratives. The study will proceed to argue that Esther, a remarkable Jewish deliverer figure in the Persian period can be viewed as a reinterpretation of the Moses figure in the Exodus narratives. Within a broad analysis of these narratives, the researcher investigates how Esther fits into the Old Testament deliverance motifs. Commonalities between Moses and Esther and their parallels and characterization as Old Testament deliverer figures assist in drawing a comparative analysis between the two. The study proceeds to prove that Esther is a new Moses figure, arguing that the Esther narratives are presented deliberately in such a way that they reinterpret the Moses narratives. A survey of previous studies that investigated the two narratives provides further evidence for the view that the Esther narratives are reinterpreting the Moses narratives, and hence that Esther can be regarded as a new Moses in the Old Testament deliverance motifs.

    1 Esther is not Yester… or Politics Matters The Book of Esther: A New Interpretation Robert Case Faith Presbyterian Church, Tacoma, WA 2017 Introduction “Lawrence of Arabia Overture” “Lawrence of Arabia Overture” was writing in l962 by Maurice Jarre for the Oscar winning movie, Lawrence of Arabia starring: Peter O'Toole, Anthony Quinn, Omar Shariff, Alec Guiness, Anthony Quail, Jack Hawkins and directed By David Lean. Considered by some critics to be the greatest movie ever made, The movie is a 1962 epic historical drama film based on the life of T. E. Lawrence. The film was nominated for ten Oscars in 1963; it won seven. The film depicts Lawrence's experiences in the Arabian Peninsula during World War I, in particular his attacks on Aqaba and Damascus and his involvement in the Arab National Council. Its themes include Lawrence's emotional struggles with the personal violence inherent in war, his own identity, and his divided allegiance between his native Britain and its army and his new-found comrades within the Arabian desert tribes. In 1991, Lawrence of Arabia was deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" and selected for preservation in the United States Library of Congress National Film Registry. The overture is played by the London Philharmonic Orchestra. Maurice Jarre wrote all the music for Lawrence and won his first Oscar. His second collaboration with David Lean on Doctor Zhivago in 1965 earned him another Oscar.
