In this volume Gabriele Boccaccini and Jason M. Zurawski collect
together essays from leading international scholars on the books of
4 Ezra and 2 Baruch. The literature of the Second Temple Period has
become increasingly studied in recent years as scholars have begun
to recognize the importance of these texts for a developed
understanding of Rabbinic and Christian origins. Through close
readings of the texts themselves, examining the books in comparison
with other Jewish apocalyptic literature and early Christian
materials, and reading the texts in light of their social and
historical settings, the fifteen papers collected herein
significantly advance the current scholarly conversation on these
defining Jewish apocalypses written at the end of the first century
CE, and they shed light on the everlasting legacy of apocalyptic
ideas in both Christianity and Judaism.
