The Epistle is a message to the Jews of the Dispersion. Whitters is arguing that the document was once an authoritative text for a specific community, and gives us clues about the important era between the two Jewish wars of 70 and 132 AD, when Judaism was assuming radical new forms. This Epistle tells Diapora Jews how to live in a world without the Jerusalem Temple.Journal for the study of the Pseudepigrapha.Supplement series ;42.Library of Second Temple studies.Electronic books.229.506Whitters Mark F963640MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910461376903321The Epistle of second baruch2184907UNINA
