Letter of Jeremiah


AKA The Epistle of Jeremy

One of the books of the Bible considered apocryphal by Jerome-supporting Protestants though accepted by Orthodox Christians.

A document supposedly sent to the Judeans about to be taken captive in Babylonia. It's actually a religious tract condemning idolatry.
