Who is the Author?
The author of Esther is unidentified. Though some have suggested Mordecai as a possible solution, the only thing we can state with any confidence is that the author was someone who possessed knowledge of Persian customs, particularly those relating to official court proceedings, and had some interest in the history of Jewish traditions and Jewish life in the diaspora.
