The Book of Judith [Paperback]

Judith is one of very few ladies in the ancient biblical world whose life stories show us what important roles women can play in human history in addition to motherhood. Along with Ruth and Esther she is one of the only three women on whom a whole book was written. Her life story is attractive enough to be read in the Greek version, probably dating to the first century BCE, and its annotated English translation presented in this book.
