Martin Luther — "The book of Esther I toss into the Elbe. I am such an enemy to the book of Esthe…"

The book of Esther I toss into the Elbe. I am such an enemy to the book of Esther that I wish it did not exist, for it Judaizes too much and has in it a great deal of heathenish foolishness.
Martin Luther — Martin Luther Early Modern · Leader of the Protestant Reformation
