Book of Sirach

Ancient Wisdom for Modern Living

The Book of Sirach, also known as Ecclesiasticus, is a unique text found in the Deuterocanonical books or Apocrypha. Written by Ben Sira, a Jewish scribe in the 2nd century BCE, it offers practical wisdom and guidance on how to live a virtuous and ethical life. Often referred to as a book of moral teachings, Sirach explores topics such as humility, friendship, family, and reverence for Our Lord and Creator.

Though included in Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Bibles, Sirach is not found in most Protestant or Jewish Bibles. Its focus on wisdom and righteous living has made it a valuable resource for those seeking to deepen their understanding of ethical behavior and faith. For many, this may be their first encounter with this profound work of spiritual instruction.
