Abstract: 

The piety of the Book of Baruch leaves virtually no place for the cultic relationship with God or cultic mediation. The religion of Baruch focuses on relation to God, revelation, moral life, community and salvation. In the New Testament we can find similar thoughts. The rabbinic tradition after the fall of the temple developed in the same direction.
