{"product_id":"9781589831735","title":"4 Baruch (Paraleipomena Jeremiou)","description":"\u003cp\u003eA little-known text of Hellenistic Judaism, 4 Baruch (or Paraleipomena Jeremiou) reflects the situation in Palestine on the eve of the Bar-Kokhba War by retelling the story of the Babylonian captivity of the Jewish people. Neglected for far too long, 4 Baruch is now made accessible to scholars and students alike through a critical edition of the Greek text, a new English translation, and a substantial commentary on this early Jewish writing of the beginning of the second century C.E. The commentary elaborates its historical and literary setting and provides a theological interpretation of its religious ideas. On the basis of his close and careful reading of the text, Jens Herzer argues for the basic integrity of 4 Baruch as a genuine Jewish work that was preserved after the war by a Christian group that also added a Christian ending.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePaperback edition is available from the Society of Biblical Literature (www.sbl-site.org)\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Society of Biblical Literature","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47061907144944,"sku":"9781589831735","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781589831735_p0.jpg?v=1763808293","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781589831735","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
