Book of Baruch

Deuterocanonical book of the Bible in some Christian traditions

The Book of Baruch (Ancient Greek: Βαροὺχ, Biblical Hebrew: בָּרוּךְ 'blessed') is a deuterocanonical book of the Bible, used in many Christian traditions, such as Catholic and Orthodox churches. In Judaism and Protestant Christianity, it is considered not to be part of the canon, with the Protestant Bibles categorizing it as part of the Biblical apocrypha. The book is named after Baruch ben Neriah, the prophet Jeremiah's scribe who is mentioned at Baruch 1:1, and has been presumed to be the author of the whole work.
