Book of Tobit: Encyclopedia II - Book of Tobit - Significance

Catholics list the book of Tobit among the "historical books" of the Bible, but most scholars regard it more as a religious novel with certain historical elements.

In the past, Catholic Bible scholars have provided a variety of ways for explaining these apparent discrepancies. The book is also closely related to Jewish wisdom literature. Nowhere is this clearer than in Tobit's instructions to Tobias before h ...
