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. 410 0$aJournal for the study of the Pseudepigrapha.$pSupplement series ;$v42. 410 0$aLibrary of Second Temple studies. 608 $aElectronic books. 676 $a229.506 700 $aWhitters$b Mark F$0963640 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461376903321 996 $aThe Epistle of second baruch$92184907 997 $aUNINA
