Scholarship on "4 Ezra" takes two divergent approaches - reading the dialogues between Ezra and Uriel as a reflection of theological debates, and focusing on the psychological development of the protagonist. This book offers an interpretation of the dialogues as a literary representation of a debate between covenantal and eschatological wisdom.
