This volume provides a translation, commentary and introduction to several apocryphal texts, including Susanna, Bel and the Snake and the additions to Esther and Jeremiah.
In the Apocrypha, Judith is the saint who murdered for her people. She offered herself to Holofernes, the Assyrian general sent by Nebuchadnezzar to destroy the Israelites. This volume considers the historicity of the story and explores the author's true intent: Was it to describe actual events or to compose a fictitious story of other purposes?
"Esther", the biblical book named after the beautiful Jewish woman chosen by the Persian King Xerxes to be queen, is a story of love, political intrigue, and religious faithfulness. This volume offers a treatment of scholarly issues and provides an explanation of the popular Jewish festival of Purim.
Tobit is the story of a righteous, devout, and charitable man who - blind and miserable - sends his son, Tobiah, to collect on an old loan. This book draws upon an analysis of the book's grammar and philology, literary forms and context, religious and social situation, and historical context, and offers the commentary available on Tobit.
