Matthias Henze offers a close reading of some of the central passages in Second Baruch, an early Jewish apocalypse. The purpose of his study is to expose the book's main themes, to explain the apocalyptic program it advocates, to draw some parallels with other texts, Jewish and Christian, and to locate its place in the rugged terrain of post-70 C.E. Jewish literature and thought.
