- Written between the 2nd and 5th centuries AD, in Greek, the Apocalypse of Sedrach, also known as the Word of Sedrach, is an ancient apocryphal text. It is preserved only in one 15th century manuscript (Bodleian Cod.Misc.Gr. 56, fols. 92–100). Apparently the original apocalypse was composed between AD 150 and 500, it was joined with a lengthy sermon on love to reach its final form shortly after AD 1000 (Agourides, 606). The original was probably Jewish, but this was later edited to take on a Christian flavour. The name of the titular figure, Sedrach may simply be the Greek form of Shadrach, the name of one of the three individuals put into the fiery furnace in the Book of Daniel. It may however simply be a corruption of Esdras, the Greek form of Ezra, particularly since the text has much similarity with other apocryphal texts attributed to Ezra, such as the Apocalypse of Ezra. Like much other apocalyptic literature, the text narrates how Sedrach was given a vision of heaven, first describing someone being sent by God take him there. In the Apocalypse of Sedrach, it is Jesus himself who comes to take Sedrach, but while the text seems superficially Christian, it appears to be a corruption of an earlier Jewish text, with Jesus simply having been substituted in place of the name of an archangel. Unlike other apocalyptic texts, however, the Apocalypse of Sedrach heavily discusses ethical issues, particularly repentance, and God being merciful. In a marked contrast to the bitter attitude often expressed in the genre, God is depicted as patient, keen to help people make the right choices, and keen to allow them repentance at every opportunity, and free will is seen as something kindly given, not a vicious trick.

- L'Apocalisse di Sadrach è un apocrifo dell'Antico Testamento scritto nel III-IV secolo d.C. in greco, riferito a Sedrach (Anania in ebraico, vissuto nel VI secolo a.C.). Di origine cristiana, forse è un rimaneggiamento di un precedente testo giudaico (II secolo d.C.?) con sostituzione di Gesù all'angelo Michele. Appartiene al genere apocalittico. Narra il viaggio in paradiso di Sedrach e il suo dialogo con Dio, che gli dice di permettere il male nel mondo per amore della libertà dell'uomo (it)
- Apokalipsa Sedracha – jeden z licznych utworów apokryficznych wiązanych z postacią proroka Ezdrasza. Imię tytułowego bohatera zostało prawdopodobnie wzięte z Księgi Daniela, może jednak być to też zniekształcona forma imienia Ezdrasz. Utwór został spisany w środowisku judaistycznym w języku greckim. Data powstania jest nieznana, a współcześnie znany jest on jedynie z dokonanej w Bizancjum około 1000 roku redakcji chrześcijańskiej. Treścią Apokalipsy Sedracha jest rozmowa Sedracha z Bogiem na temat śmierci, duszy i pokuty, przeplatana utworami o charakterze hymnów i modlitw. Głównym tematem teologicznym jest powszechność Bożego miłosierdzia i możliwość pokuty, odrzucanych przez grzesznego człowieka. (pl)
