Its reflections in the New Testament are scarce. Ancient Christian witnesses are usually favorable to the canonicity of the book of Tobit. It is present in many ancient biblical manuscripts (א, B, A, more then 30 minuscules). It was quoted by at least 79 authors, by many as Scripture. Some canon lists include it, other ones does not – when they are influenced by the Jewish canon. Some authors who failed to list Tobit in the canon have quoted it as Scripture. Accordingly, arguments for the canonicity prevail. Later ages accepted Tobit as canonical book. Protestants, despite some initial positive interest, have eliminated it. Tobit is canonical in the Catholic and Orthodox Churches. It contains valuable teachings, especially on family and marriage – it is the only biblical book concentrated on these subjects.enCC-BY - Uznanie autorstwaBook of TobitTobiascanonauthoritydeuterocanonical booksapocryphahistory of the biblical canoncanon listsauthority of the Book of Tobitcanonicitycanonicity of the Book of Tobitbiblical canonOld TestamentBiblebiblical studiesKsięga TobiaszaTobiaszkanonautorytetksięgi deuterokanoniczneapokryfhistoria kanonu biblijnegolisty kanonuautorytet Księgi Tobiaszakanonicznośćkanoniczność Księgi Tobiaszakanon biblijnyStary TestamentPismo ŚwięteBibliabiblistykaAuthority and Canonicity of the Book of TobitArticle
