The Book of Judith contains a veritable wealth of intertextual references. Models for the figure of Judith were not just provided by Moses, David and Judas Maccabeus, but also by biblical female figures who were either the victims or themselves the perpetrators of violence. The study is centred on the song in Judith 16, 1-17, which provides a theological interpretation of the events in the Book of Judith and puts forward the statement that God crushes wars. In the intertextual biblical dialogue, the Book of Judith is read as a plea for resistance to a violent regime, not with warlike means but through the strategic deployment of female beauty.
