Overview
Blindness by bird excrement, seven husbands murdered by a love-sick demon, a father with the corpses of his sons-in-law interred in the backyard, and a magical fish. These farcical elements make the book of Tobit a striking work of humorous fiction�in a�long Jewish tradition of storytelling.�But it is more than just an entertaining read. We�might well laugh, but we cannot laugh too hard, for we also sympathize with the characters' sincere struggles to understand God's plan for their lives. This commentary considers the book of Tobit through a specifically feminist lens, discoursing on topics fundamental to the human experience in the story, such as grief, death, family relationships, belonging to a minority community, disability issues, and contending with why bad things happen to good people.� ��
