The Book of Judith in Scholarship

Evans (1939) introduced the book of Judith as a work of fiction, without reference to any historical event. The book was written "in Hebrew... about 100 BCE... by one of the first of the Pharisees." The purpose was "to give courage to the Jews in a time of danger" (p.27).

Craven (1983) defended the literary unity and harmony of the work, while reaching a skeptical conclusion about its ideology--"There is in fact no reason to believe that either a Sadducee, a Zealot, an Essene, or a Pharisee authored the story" (p.121).
