Abstract

This chapter presents an exegetical analysis of the book of Esther, focusing on the characteristics and actions of Esther and Mordecai as they related to navigating the crisis of possible Jewish genocide in Susa. Using narrative analysis, the exegetical analysis shows evidence of specific characteristics and behaviors that support and exemplify resilience in the characters of Esther and Mordecai. In addition, the analysis establishes the importance of relationship and spirituality in supporting resilience and the emergence of team leadership between Esther and Mordecai. In all, the chapter provides evidence the leaders during the crisis may benefit from team leadership that supports both individual and group resilience.
