Book of Baruch

Japanese: バルク書 - バルクしょ(英語表記)Book of Baruch
Book of Baruch
A book in the Jewish Apocalypse of Baruch. It is in the form of a letter sent from Babylonia to Palestine after the destruction of the First Temple. It is considered apocryphal by Jewish and Protestant churches, but the Greek Orthodox and Catholic churches consider it to be one of the canonical books of the Old Testament. The supposed author, Baruch, was a disciple and scribe of Jeremiah, but the book itself is not his. It is believed to have been a collection of works written by several authors, both in Greek and Hebrew, and is dated to the mid-2nd century BCE and 70 CE. It contains a long confession of faith and prayer, praise of wisdom, or the law, and an exhortation to observe the law as the fountain of life.

Japanese:
ユダヤ教のいわゆるバルクの黙示録中の一書。第1神殿崩壊後バビロニアからパレスチナに送られた手紙の形式をとっている。ユダヤ教やプロテスタント諸教会は外典としているが,ギリシア正教,カトリック教会はこれを旧約聖書正典の一つとみなしている。著者とされているバルクはエレミヤの弟子で書記であったが,本書自体は彼のものではなく,数人の著者の,しかもギリシア語,ヘブライ語で書かれたものを収集したものと推定され,上限は前2世紀中葉,下限は紀元 70年とされている。長い信仰告白と祈り,知恵すなわち律法の称揚,生命の泉としての律法遵守のすすめなどが述べられている。
