Abstract:
The ongoing development of what exactly life (and death) signifies in the context of wisdom's identification with the Law is examined, based on passages in Fourth Ezra and Second Baruch. For the author of Fourth Ezra, the problems of the present are based not simply on Jewish neglect of the Torah, but go all the way back to Adam, whose failure to keep the one commandment he was given led to the introduction of death for him and his descendants.
