	Epistle of Jeremy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Epistle of Jeremy is a deuterocanonical (or apocryphal) book of the Old Testament; this letter purports to have been written by Jeremiah (Jeremy) to the exiles who were to be taken captive into Babylon.
		It is interesting to note that 2 Maccabees may be referring to this letter in chapter 2 verses 1-3.
		The author warned the exiles that they were to remain in captivity for 7 generations; that they would there see the worship paid to idols, and that they were strictly to hold aloof from all participation; for the idols were nothing save the work of men's hands, without the powers of speech, hearing or self-preservation.

		20-23), and this is the purport of Jeremiah's letter.
		Jeremiah therefore writes a letter to them, to comfort them, assuring them that they had no reason either to despair of succour themselves or to envy their brethren that were left behind.
		Jeremiah had said that it would come, and the event had already proved him in the right, which obliged them to give credit to him who now said that it would be long, rather than to those who said that it would be short, but had once before been found liars.

		In the Greek Septuagint, the LETTER OF JEREMIAH is a distinct document, separated from BARUCH by LAMENTATIONS.
		This letter is attributed to the prophet Jeremiah, who proclaimed the Lord's warnings to the people of Judah in the period leading up to the fall of Jerusalem in 586 or 587 B.C. The letter probably became associated with Baruch because Baruch served as the prophet's scribe (Jer 36.4; 45.1).
		The LETTER OF JEREMIAH is modeled on the letter of Jeremiah to the exiles in Babylon found in Jeremiah 29, and it draws heavily on the Jewish Scriptures in presenting its argument against any form of idol worship, especially as it would have been practiced in the late Babylonian period (see Jer 10; Isa.

		Finally, in the letter of Jeremiah added to the whole thing, Jeremiah warns his people about the dangers of idolatry and paganism.
		Though all this (except the letter of Jeremiah) is assigned to the pen of Baruch, most Bible scholars think it is a combination of much later disparate pieces, all originally written in Hebrew in Palestine, that were edited together and united by this scheme of a letter from Baruch.

	A Brief History of the Apocrypha
		The Letter of Jeremiah, which dates from inter-testamental times, may have provided later writers with an example of how this literary form could be used for religious purposes, a form that offers the possibility of combining profound theological content with a direct personal approach to the reader.
		For example, what seem to be literary echoes from the Wisdom of Solomon are present in Paul's Letter to the Romans (compare Rom 1.20-29 with Wis 13.5,8; 14.24,27; and Rom 9.20-23 with Wis 12.12,20; 15.7) and in his correspondence with the Corinthians (compare 2 Cor 5.1,4 with Wis 9.15).
		The reference to "books in their entirety and with all their parts" is intended to cover the Letter of Jeremiah as chapter 6 of Baruch, the Additions to Esther, and the chapters in Daniel concerning the Song of the Three Jews, Susanna, and Bel and the Dragon.

		The text accepted by Catholics is often found in Orthodox Bibles as two separate documents, a shorter aporyphal Book of Baruch and the Letter of Jeremiah.
		The book starts with a rather nice declaration of repentance by the exiles in Babylon, in the form of a letter to the temple in Jerusalem, which ends with a prayer for deliverance.
		The letter of Jeremiah which concludes the book is an attack on idolatry but even this is full of rather arresting imagery ("Like a scarecrow in a cucumber bed, which guards nothing, so are their gods of wood") and rather less vengeful than one sometimes gets in the Old Testament.
