Book excerpt: Sirach is a book that raises a very distinctive set of problems. What should we call it (Sirach, Ecclesiasticus, Ben Sira)? What is the relation between the traditional Greek text and the recently rediscovered Hebrew parts of the book? Where did it stand in relation to Jewish tradition and the Hellenism that was sweeping the Mediterranean world? In this guide, a new addition to Sheffield's series on the Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha, these questions are discussed, as well as the use the author made of Scripture, and the scholarly placing of the book in the Wisdom tradition. The author's attitude to women is considered and the volume ends with a consideration of some of the chief theological themes of Sirach.

Book excerpt: Although it is found in every major extant Christian manuscript of the Old Testament, the later exclusion of the Wisdom of Sirach (also known as Ecclesiasticus) from the Protestant canon has made it one of the little-known gems of Holy Scripture. Composed in Hebrew and translated into Greek in the second century before Christ, it is among the last books of the Old Testament. Sirach represents the more primitive and conservative aspect of Israel's Wisdom tradition-the practical application of the fear of God to daily life-but he enhances that tradition by a singular attention to biography and historical literature in the shaping of the soul. In short, "Wise Lives." Sirach's social context-the struggle to preserve the Jewish religion and culture against the corrosive influence of Hellenic paganism-will resonate with Christians living in the secular world today. In this commentary, Fr. Patrick Reardon illustrates for contemporary readers the riches of this often-neglected jewel of the Bible.

He encourages his audience to remain steadfast in following the law of Moses rather than following the ways of the dominant pagan Greek culture.

Book excerpt: The Lost Book of Sirach! One might ask, why read this book? Well, maybe because you are curious about who Sirach was, what his book is about or why it is considered lost. Maybe you just need a distraction on a plane or during a long car ride. Or, maybe you believe this book to be a mystical book from the past or a book about a treasure of sorts and this interests you; then you may be very close to the truth. Let me satisfy a bit more of your curiosity- This book holds the mystical and wise writings from a very learned family that lived over 2,100 years ago. A person ironically named Jesus (who was the son of a man called Eleazar who was the son of a man named Sirach) translated the Book of Sirach in about 132 BC. His grandfather Sirach wrote the original version around 175 to 200 BC! The Book of Sirach is rich in knowledge, experience, and true wisdom, and speaks very succinctly about life as it existed at that time in surprising detail. It focuses on relationships between God and man, man and woman, and parent and child. Also, it speaks to friendships, foes, relatives, and strangers. It covers nearly every possible relationship and issue, like poverty and wealth and moral codes, very much like the issues we struggle with today. The book written here, entwined with the resurrection of the original Book of Sirach, also contains a rather daring translation or interpretation of sorts. The author has attempted to convert the language, situations, and metaphors documented over 2,100 years ago into similar social interactions and experiences of today in order to help apply the original book's gifts and wisdom into our daily lives. In addition to the author's efforts of reflection/interpretation, he has also included within this book the original text. This allows the reader a side-by-side comparison of the original and the reflection so nothing is lost from the journey started roughly 2,200 years ago to today. The Lost Book of Sirach is a gift, a gift to you and generations to come. A gift that, if read and applied, can change the face of this nation and this world by solving many of our ills. Please join the author in reading and sharing this book so it will never again hold the title of "lost"!

This book was released on 2015-12-14 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The extreme complexity of Sirach’s text at times makes it almost impossible to come to one clear conclusion as regards certain issues. There are numerous differences between various translations of this deuterocanonical text. In addition, the Armenian translation, being a textual witness to not one but multiple parent texts, has its own complications. This research provides a sustained theological reading of the Armenian text of Sirach on the basis of Yakob Nalean’s commentary written in the 18th century. At the same time it places a great emphasis on the textual evaluation of the various versions of Sirach in Armenian. In this respect an attempt has been made to display the unique features of the Armenian Sirach within the wider scope of the scholarship of this biblical text. Through a comprehensive linguistic and theological analysis of some major parts of Sirach in Armenian, this study assesses the extent to which this book was in use amongst Armenians throughout the centuries. In particular, the numerous references to Sirach in both Armenian and non-Armenian patristic literature are examined, with the aim of dating the first translations into Armenian and tracing the development of the text in the Armenian medieval schools.

This book was released on 2019-03-04 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the attention that has already been paid to the theme of creation in the book of Sirach, scholarship has yet to provide a comprehensive analysis of Ben Sira's instruction regarding the cosmic order and its role in the divine bestowal of wisdom upon human beings. This book, which consists of two parts, fills a lacuna in scholarship by offering such an analysis. The first part of this study examines Ben Sira's three main treatments of the created world, thus providing a comprehensive description and synthesis of Ben Sira's doctrine concerning the created order of the cosmos. The second part of this work analyzes the place of human beings in general, and the Jewish people in particular, within the cosmic order. This second part includes an analysis of the role of the created order in Ben Sira's wisdom instruction in 1:1-10 and 24:1-34 as well as an elucidation of the way in which his treatments of various kinds of people—civic leaders, wives, doctors, manual laborers, scribes, and cultic personnel—are integral to Ben Sira's doctrine of creation. This study demonstrates that the created order is a fundamental category that Ben Sira relies upon in articulating his instructions about wisdom and wise behavior.
