The ‘Whole Truth’:
Rethinking Retribution
in the Book of Tobit
Micah D. Kiel
• challenges the
overly simplistic
nomenclature
given to Tobit’s
perspective on
retribution
• Discusses
Tobit’s affinities
with early Jewish
apocalypticism and their relevance for
Tobit’s theology
• Offers close comparison between
Tobit and selected contemporaneous
literature
Kiel discusses the ‘Deuteronomistic’
nomenclature given to Tobit’s perspective
on retribution and, by coordinating it
with Sirach and parts of 1 Enoch, shows
how the book’s view is much more
complex than is normally asserted.
