What's your opinion on this issue, is the name hidden in Esther?
Roman, it's take me a long time to come to a firm opinion/view on some things. To be honest, while I learned about acrostic poetry years ago, I have long been suspicious of seeing God's name (YHWH) in Esther. However, after reading a number of scholarly works and reading the study Bible comments for NWT, I'm now up to maybe. I can also see the rationale since the Jews were living under Persian rule that apparently turned hostile to a degree. So, I'm not dogmatic about it and think it's possible the name is there, but I'm not a firm "yes" at this point.
