Abstract
ABSTRACT This article deals with the interpretation and use of the book of Esther in patristic texts. A special focus lies on the person of Queen Esther herself. She is described and estimated very differently in different texts. Very often she is praised for her courage und the salvation of her people (sometimes together with Judith). Other texts focus on her prayer and her fast which give her the strength to save her people with God's help. So Esther is an example of Christian life. Especially the plurality of perspectives in the patristic texts can be interesting for modern biblical scholarship.
