MF CASR lunch with Joseph Scales

Judith's Murder Mystery

In Judith 8:22, Judith describes the woes which will come to pass should her besieged town Bethulia be taken by an invading Assyrian army, among which is the “murder of our brothers.” By appealing to murder, Judith frames the in-text audience as participants in a moral outrage, one which their action may prevent. As such, Judith makes argues that surrender is an active choice, and they will be culpable should the Assyrians succeed.
