Book Oftobit [1]
Book of To´bit [APOCRYPHA], one of the deutero-canonical books, containing the private history of a venerable and pious old man of this name, who was carried captive into Assyria by Shalmaneser.
Nothing is known with certainty respecting either the author or the age of the book. Professor Stewart ascribes it to an early period of the exile. All ancient writers looked upon the narrative as historical and authentic. But the question has been raised in modern times, whether the book is to be regarded as a true history or a moral fiction. Luther was the first who adopted the latter view; others have maintained that the book is partly historical, partly mythical. Gutmann, a modern Jewish Rabbi, adopts the opinion that it is a fiction founded on facts.
Its authority in the early Christian church is beyond question.
