This collection of essays on the Syriac Apocalypse of Baruch, or 2 Baruch, pushes the boundaries of current scholarship on ancient Jewish apocalyptic literature. It investigates the rich lives of the manuscripts that carry the text of 2 Baruch. It reads 2 Baruch in the broader context of ancient Jewish writings, including the Dead Sea Scrolls. And it compares 2 Baruch with the New Testament and early rabbinic writings. The introduction reviews apocalyptic scholarship of the last century and a half, and the comprehensive bibliography at the end (1866–2025) is an indispensable tool for future researchers.
