Is Esther in the ancestry of Jesus?

We do not really know the ancestry of Jesus, apart from the two quite contradictory genealogies of Joseph, in Matthew and Luke As was normal in ancient times, they only contain the names of purported male ancestors, but Raymond E. Brown ( An Introduction to the New Testament ) says there is little likelihood that either is strictly historical There is no reason to believe that Queen Esther was an ancestor of Jesus. If in fact Esther was a historical person, then she lived in Persia and her children were members of the Persian royal family, and not considered Jews.

However, it seems likely that the Book of Esther was written as a novel and that there never really was a Queen Esther.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
