«Prophezeiungen des Baruch: Die verlorenen Schriften» is the historical essay by Gernot Franke, published by tredition in paperback (272 pages, in German).
The book studies the apocalypses attributed to Baruch, companion of the prophet Jeremiah, and the visions about the fate of Israel that they contain. Franke reconstructs their historical and religious context, from late antiquity to their reception in early Christianity, and explains how these texts, forgotten for centuries, gave comfort to an oppressed community awaiting divine justice.
The ISBN-13 is 9783384416377; the edition weighs 358 grams and its cover, with apocalyptic illustration (red sun, pale moon and ruined statues), reproduces the original subtitle «Die apokalyptischen Visionen des Baruch».
For readers interested in apocalyptic literature, ancient Jewish theology and the origins of Christianity.
