  • Summary

  • The Apocalypse of Ezra, a Jewish apocalyptic text from the late 1st century CE, grapples with themes of divine justice and the suffering of the righteous after the destruction of the Second Temple. The Syriac version, a particularly valuable source, offers unique insights into its transmission and interpretation within early Christian communities of the Near East. This version's theological nuances, particularly regarding eschatology, are highlighted through its comparison with other textual traditions (Latin, Ethiopic, Armenian). The text's seven visions explore these themes, portraying the end times, a new creation, and the eventual triumph of the righteous. Its influence on both Jewish and early Christian thought is significant, providing solace and theological frameworks for understanding suffering and hope for the future.
