“…In some respects, Niehr explored this avenue of intertextuality from a slightly different direction: rather than describe Tobit’s use of Ahiqar, he considered how Ahiqar was received in the book of Tobit. This perspective allowed for some fresh insight, not least drawing attention to the significance of how this non-Jewish source figures in Tobit’s narrative, alongside of, or even outshining the many elements drawn from the Hebrew Scriptures (Niehr 2009: 72). While few today would debate that Ahiqar ‘would have to be regarded as a source that the author [of Tobit] used’ (Fitzmyer 2003: 37), there is a need to contextualize the line of intertextuality between Tobit and Ahiqar within the broader question of the book of Ahiqar’s own composition, transmission, and reception history.…”

Arguably the most influential moments in the entire history of Tobit studies were the acquisition of the Qumran cave four Aramaic and Hebrew Tobit fragments in 1952 and their eventual publication in 1995. In light of these events, this article surveys the major advancements in resources and research on the book of Tobit since the turn of the millennium. The present survey establishes the status quaestionis on matters of Tobit’s compositional origins (i.e., language, date, and provenance) as it has emerged in several recent articles, monographs, and commentaries. Following the treatment of background issues, three thematic sections capture the major trends in recent Tobit studies. These include: (1) theories of Tobit’s scribal transmission and related text-critical issues, (2) questions of source material and intertextuality in Tobit’s composition and reception, and (3) a reappraisal of central narrative-theological features in Tobit (i.e., marriage and family, perspectives on burial, and the functions of food) and their potential insight into the book’s socio-historical contexts in ancient Judaism. The study concludes with some brief recommendations and open-ended questions for future research on the book of Tobit.
