Abstract

Although much has been written on the biblical influences on the Book of Tobit, little scholarly attention has been paid to the similarities between the books of Jonah and Tobit, apart from the common term “great fish.” The following study draws attention to the similarities between these two books in terms of their date, narrative strategy, genre, background, worldview, and ideology, and in particular, their use of the unique term “great fish.” The motif of the fish is of great significance in both books, as it sheds light on the exilic background of both works.

期刊介绍： The last twenty years have witnessed some remarkable achievements in the study of early Jewish literature. Given the ever-increasing number and availability of primary sources for these writings, specialists have been producing text-critical, historical, social scientific, and theological studies which, in turn, have fuelled a growing interest among scholars, students, religious leaders, and the wider public. The only English journal of its kind, Journal for the Study of the Pseudepigrapha was founded in 1987 to provide a much-needed forum for scholars to discuss and review most recent developments in this burgeoning field in the academy.
