Esther is a controversial book because during the entire text it never mentions what particular name?
Answer God
Some thought Esther didn't belong in the Bible because God's name is never mentioned. As an historical book, it tells an important Jewish story, with God obviously working behind the scenes. Esther does mention prayer and fasting. And of course Jesus' name was not known until 500 years later.
