Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book provides an important new chapter in the Apocrypha of the Bible, the lost verses between chapters 7 and 8 of the 4th Book of Ezra, where an angel interprets a vision the prophet Ezra receives from God. The recovered text is based on a comparison of the Latin, Syriac, Arabic and Armenian versions of the book, and provides a unique insight into Jewish thought in the first century AD. The book's themes include the nature of God, the problem of evil and suffering, and the role of the chosen people of Israel in God's plan for humanity. It also raises questions about the nature of the afterlife, the role of free will, and the nature of divine justice. The book will be of interest to anyone interested in biblical studies, early Christianity, or the history of religious thought.
