The work is supposedly a letter sent by Jeremiah
to Jews exiled to Babylon by King Nebuchadrezzar in 597 BC, but it is not a
letter, nor was it written by Jeremiah. It is a polemic against the worship of
idols, developed around a verse in The Book of Jeremiah (10:11), stating that
false gods shall perish. Possibly composed about 300 BC by a Jew living in
Babylonia, the text suggests by its intensity that idolatry threatened fidelity
to the God of Israel. The author's primary target was probably the Babylonian
deity Tammuz, an agricultural god whose cult was associated with orgiastic
fertility rites. Although the letter is extant only in Greek, certain linguistic
and stylistic elements point to an original composition in Hebrew or Aramaic.
