| Summary: | The destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans (70 AD) was one of the greatest crises in the history of Judaism. There were various responses to this event, the apocalyptic being one of the most important. This article examines the works of 4 Ezra and 2 Baruch to show what "life proposal" is being offered to its audience and to Judaism in general as a solution to the crisis of faith and identity caused by the loss of the main Jewish institutions. Trust in God's plans revealed through the visions, abandonment of existential pessimism and obedience to the Torah as the centre of the believer's life are the main foundations proposed for maintaining Jewish faith and identity. By adopting this attitude, in imitation of the scribes Ezra and Baruch, the believer will be able to endure the present evils and prepare to enjoy the eternal goods that really matter. |
