Our Evening Lectures Online are scheduled for Saturday evenings, once every few months. They are on a wide variety of subjects – many of which are not necessarily associated with other material being presented through our curriculum – and are presented by both regular and visiting speakers. For details of future events, please see below. All Evening Lectures Online will be available on the Zoom platform and can be accessed by clicking here or on the image below. All are welcome.
‘The Story of Queen Esther’
Saturday, 30th May 2026 at 7.30 pm
Or: “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Gallows”
I believe that the story told in the Book of Esther is humorous, although of its time and culture. Parts work without explanation but others require some background or, if the humour is tied to the language used then an explanation of the translation might help.
The book is about Esther, and was written to show how God rescues his people – even when we are unaware of his presence. It also explains the history of the Jewish festival of Purim.
Please join us for this Saturday evening lecture as Steve Whitehead tells us of ‘The Story of Queen Esther’ in the next of our Evening Lectures Online.
