6 Ezra is a short, oracular writing that is included in the
biblical Apocrypha as the final two chapters (chapters 15-16) of 4
Ezra or 2 Esdras. Cast as the words of God mediated through an
unnamed prophet, the main part of the work sets forth predictions
of impending doom for the world. It is reminiscent of, and stands
in the tradition of, Jewish and Christian prophetic writings that
enunciate God's woes and threats against a sinful humanity, and
envisage imminent destruction on the earth as a result. 6 Ezra is
also concerned to exhort a group of God's chosen people to remain
faithful and resist sin in order to escape the impending
destruction. There has never been a major study of 6 Ezra or even a
complete critical edition of the book, and indeed little has been
written about it since the nineteenth century. This book is
designed to fill that gap, offering a detailed analysis of the text
itself, and addressing the question of its social setting,
provenance, date, religious affiliation, and recensional situation
of the text. It will also serve to make this important text
accesible to a wider audience, while laying the foundations for its
further study.
