# The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 18: Judith

_The Challoner Revision_

By Anonymous.

"The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 18: Judith" is a deuterocanonical book included in the Septuagint and Catholic Old Testament but excluded from the Hebrew canon. It tells the story of Judith, a Jewish widow who uses her beauty and cunning to kill an Assyrian general besieging her city of Bethulia, saving nearby Jerusalem from destruction. Most modern scholars consider it ahistorical, viewing it instead as a parable or theological novel due to historical anachronisms in the text. (Summary by Project Gutenberg, written by machine.)
