  The story of Susanna and the Elders is one of the most interpreted and reproduced tales from the Apocrypha . Arguing that the story of Susanna was written in the first century BCE, this book presents a narrative-rhetorical reading of Susanna, and illustrates that the story uses sexual anxiety and desire to set up a moral dilemma for Susanna.
