What is 2 Baruch?
'''2 Baruch''' is a text that was written in the late first century, or the early second century [[CE]]. It was probably written after the destruction of the temple in [[Jerusalem]], in 70 CE, and before the [[Bar Kokhba revolt|second Roman-Jewish War]], 132-135 CE. It is attributed to [[Baruch ben Neriah]] and is included in some editions of the [[Old Testament]] and the [[Peshitta]], but neither [[Jew]]s nor [[Christian]]s regard it as [[scripture]]. The [[Syrian Orthodox Church]] includes it in the [[Bible]]. The text has 87 sections and is also known as '''Syriac Apocalypse of Baruch''' and '''Letter of Baruch to the Nine and a Half Tribes'''. {{religion-stub}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Baruch 2}} [[Category:Old Testament books]] [[Category:1st-century books]]
