2 Baruch is a Jewish pseudepigraphon from the late first or early
second century CE. It is comprised of an apocalypse (2 Baruch 1-77)
and an epistle (2 Baruch 78-87). This ancient work addresses the
important matter of theodicy in light of the destruction of the
temple by the Romans in 70 CE. It depicts vivid and puzzling
pictures of apocalyptic images in explaining the nature of the
tragedy and exhorting its ancient community of readers. Gurtner
provides the first publication of the Syriac of both the apocalypse
and epistle with a fresh English translation on the opposite page.
Also present in parallel form are the few places where Greek and
Latin texts of the book. An introduction orients readers to
interpretative and textual issues of the book. Indexes and
Concordances of the Syriac, Greek, and Latin will allow users to
analyze the language of the text more carefully than ever before.
