A
To emphasize the hidden and providential nature of God's work in the world, operating through seemingly coincidental events and human agency.
B
To avoid offending the Persian court and maintain the anonymity of the Jewish people living in exile.
C
To reflect a growing skepticism among the Jewish diaspora regarding the existence or relevance of God in their lives.
D
To align with the literary conventions of Persian court narratives, which typically excluded religious references.
