CONTENT DESCRIPTION
The book commences with main characteristics and information about the Book of Judith (original language, main characters, author, sections of the book, etc.), then it presents the text of the Book of Judith, and provides reflections on the book, as well as points of objections and refutations.

GENERAL COMMENTS
The book was revised by H.G. Bishop Moussa (General Bishop) and Father Marcos Tawfik (St. George Coptic church in Sydney). The Book of Judith is a canonical book in the Coptic Orthodox Church, as well as in other Orthodox churches. Towards the end of the book, in a section named "Objections and Refutations", the author presents points of contestation regarding the book's status among the Protestants, who do not consider it canonical. The author presents five points that are considered 'problematic' or 'doubtful' and provides answers and counterarguments to these points. The author writes that the main goal of the book is to use it for teaching the Bible.
