1 MaccabeesAlthough the book presents the Jewish leaders Judas, Jonathan, and Simon as devout people and has little sympathy for people who favor hellenization, but it must be noted that he nowhere mentions divine intervention.The contents of the book can be summarized as follows:Chapter 1-2: The hellenization of Judah and the non-violent resistance by Mattathias;Chapter 3-9: Military actions by Judas the Maccabaean ('battle hammer'): after 166, he defeats the Seleucid armies three times and liberates Jerusalem, where the temple is purified;Chapter 9-12: Continued warfare, led by Judas' brother Jonathan (160-143), who, benefiting from wars of succession in the Seleucid Empire, restores the fortunes of the Jewish nationalists and adds to their territories;Chapter 13-16: The third brother, Simon, achieves political independence, and founds the Hasmonaean dynasty.2 Maccabees.2 Maccabees is not as well written and has a less polished form. The pagans are defined as 'blasphemous and barbarous nations' in 10.4, but there are also severe censures of apostate Jews, of whom there must therefore have been considerable numbers. We find a theological features in 2 Maccabees such as the resurrection of the body in 7.11; 14.46. This stand in stark contrast first to Wisdom and Philo, both of which teach the immortality of the soul.3 MaccabeesThe title of 3 Maccabees is a misnomer because the book has nothing to do with the Maccabees, who are never mentioned in it. The book is a story about a situation in which the Jewish people, this time in Egypt, were in danger of being annihilated by a Hellenistic monarch, who was attempting to top their religious convictions and practices.4 Maccabees4 Maccabees belongs to the Maccabees series only because it deals with the beginning of the persecution of Jews by Antiochus IV Epiphanes. It possibly was written during the reign of the emperor Caligula (C.E. 37.) The work's main religious theme is that the martyr's sufferings expunged the sins of the entire Jewish people through a type of propitiation. The Maccabees books were preserved only by the Christian church.

This commentary examines 4 Maccabees as a contribution to the ongoing reformulation of Jewish identity and practice in the Greek-speaking Diaspora. It analyzes the Jewish author’s interaction with, and facility in, Greek rhetorical conventions, ethical philosophy, and literary culture, giving attention also to his use and interpretation of texts and traditions from the Jewish Scriptures and other Hellenistic Jewish writings. The commentary exhibits the author’s skillful weaving together of all these resources to create a text that interprets the Torah-observant life as the fullest embodiment of the best Greek ethical ideals. A distinctive feature is the examination of how the experience of reading 4 Maccabees in Codex Sinaiticus differs from the experience of reading the eclectic text.

How did the books of the Bible come to be recognized as Holy Scripture? After nearly nineteen centuries the canon of Scripture remains an issue of debate. Adept in both Old and New Testament studies, F. F. Bruce brings the wisdom of a lifetime of reflection and biblical interpretation to bear in addressing the criteria of canonicity, the canon within the canon, and canonical criticism.

Comprehensive and understandable, these books bring the relevance of the Old Testament to Bible study participants, teachers, students, preachers, and all readers of the Bible. The series is filled with recent scholarship, provides vital background, and addresses important questions such as authorship and cultural context. Often neglected, the books of First and Second Maccabees are important for Christians, as in them is told how the Jewish people established the political and religious culture into which Jesus was born. The martyr stories inform the early Christian martyrdoms, and the books are written in Greek, the language in which the Jews of Jesus time read the scriptures. More importantly, as Father Harrington notes, without the Maccabees the fate of Judaism (and with it Christianity and Islam) was uncertain.

Excerpt from The Third Book of Maccabees The king then becomes the protector of the Jews, and grants them a seven days' feast in celebration of their deliverance (22-41); he writes a letter vindicating their loyalty (vii.1-9), and gives them permission to return to their homes and take vengeance on apostates (10-23). Purpose Of The Book. The primary interest of the book lies in the fact that it is an example of one type of apology put forth by Jewish writers in defence of their religion and independence. As soon as Judaism came into contact with the Graeco-Roman world it tended to become unpopular by reason of its exclusiveness and peculiarities; we see in iii. 4 the kind of charges brought against it. Various methods of apology were open. The best was the appeal to reason, which might convince the outsider of the legitimacy, if not of the superiority, of the Jewish position. The Letter of Aristeas, 4 Maccabees, and the writings of Philo are examples of this method. Another line was the appeal to history and facts. This included the argument, which found its counterpart among the early apologists for Christianity, that after all members of the suspected religion make good and loyal citizens; 3 Maccabees emphasizes this point (iii. 5, vii. 7, 20). But still more obviously attractive was the warning that in spite of the apparent defencelessness of the Jews it was dangerous to interfere with them, since they had a supernatural ally who was ready to I avenge their oppressors.
