Image
Introduction : The Book of Sirach, also called Ecclesiasticus, is a deuterocanonical wisdom book in the Old Testament, written around 180 BCE by Yeshua ben Eleazar ben Sira, a Jewish scribe, and later translated into Greek by his grandson. Composed in Jerusalem during the Second Temple period, it addresses Jewish life under Hellenistic influence, offering moral and practical guidance. From a Catholic perspective, Sirach is authoritative scripture, included in the canon since the early Church, as affirmed by councils like Trent (1546).
