Statement

There are also books written to emulate the Bible, with stories set in biblical times. From the Apocrypha come Tobit, about an upright man living among Israelites carried off to Assyria, and Judith, about a pious widow who single-handedly saved her people from Nebuchadnezzar; from the Pseudepigrapha, Joseph and Aseneth, about Joseph's Egyptian wife, here depicted as a convert.
