{"product_id":"3-baruch-alexander-kulik-9783110212488","title":"3 Baruch: Greek-Slavonic Apocalypse of Baruch","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis work provides the key to one of the most enigmatic Jewish Hellenistic texts preserved in Greek and Slavonic. Despite the fact that \u003cem\u003e3 Baruch \u003c\/em\u003eis one of the major early Jewish apocalypses, it has been relatively neglected in modern scholarship, probably since \u003cem\u003e3 Baruch \u003c\/em\u003eis one of the most difficult works to comprehend and classify. Its content differs significantly from that of other writings of the same genre, as the book preserves syncretistic ideas and tendencies which are combined in unique ways. The worldview, the message, and the very textual structure of \u003cem\u003e3 Baruch \u003c\/em\u003eare enigmatic in many respects. The present study demonstrates that the textual history of \u003cem\u003e3 Baruch\u003c\/em\u003e, implicit meanings and structural links in its text, as well as conceptions behind the text, are partly reconstructable. Moreover, \u003cem\u003e3 Baruch\u003c\/em\u003e, properly read, significantly enriches our understanding of the history of the motifs found in early Jewish lore, at times providing missing links between different stages of their development, and preserves important evidence on the roots of Jewish mysticism, proto-Gnostic and proto-Christian traditions. The study contains the introduction, synoptic translation, textual notes, and detailed commentaries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alexander Kulik\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 311021248X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783110212488\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e de Gruyter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/17\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 458\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.94lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 1.19d","brand":"Alexander Kulik","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44245343469823,"sku":"9783110212488","price":280.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1f452afa-5745-42c2-bd24-98fb36a61aec.jpg?v=1693927507","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/3-baruch-alexander-kulik-9783110212488","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
