Synopsis
Contributing Authors

Das in griechischer Sprache uberlieferte Buch Tobit gehort zu den ,,ungehobenen Schatzen” des Alten Testaments. Von der Theologie eher vernachlassigt, war es als spannende Beispielgeschichte uber die ,,Werke der Barmherzigkeit” in der Alltagsfrommigkeit von Juden und Christen uber die Jahrhunderte hinweg sehr beliebt. Es erzahlt die Geschichte einer Familie, die nach dem Untergang des Nordreichs Israel in Assyrien lebt und in einer schweren Glaubensprufung die Hilfe ihres Gottes erlebt. Sie macht die urbiblische Erfahrung, die im Namen des Haupthelden Tobit programmatisch zusammengefasst ist: ,,Gott ist gut.” Konzipiert ist das Buch als romanhafte Lehrschrift fur die Juden in der Diaspora, um sie darin zu bestarken, trotz der Bedrohung an der Uberlieferung ihrer Vater festzuhalten und zu ihrem Gesetz zu stehen. Der Kommentar arbeitet uberzeugend heraus, wie die Tobit-Erzahlung fur suchende und glaubende Menschen von heute zu einer ergreifenden Zusage der rettenden Nahe Gottes in noch so aussichtsloser Situation werden kann.
