The Maccabees are connected to the Bible through the books known as 1 and 2 Maccabees (sometimes also 3 and 4, depending on tradition). Here’s the breakdown: ⸻ 1. Historical Context • The Maccabees were a Jewish family (the Hasmoneans) who led a revolt against the Seleucid Empire (around 167–160 BC). • Their struggle was sparked when King Antiochus IV Epiphanes outlawed Jewish practices and defiled the Jerusalem Temple. • The revolt restored Jewish religious freedom and rededicated the Temple, which is remembered in the festival of Hanukkah (Feast of Dedication in John 10:22). ⸻ 2. Books of Maccabees • 1 & 2 Maccabees describe the revolt, battles, and God’s deliverance of Israel. • They’re part of the Apocrypha/Deuterocanonical books: • Catholic & Orthodox Bibles: include them as part of Scripture. • Protestant Bibles: usually place them in the Apocrypha section (not considered canon but sometimes included for historical/cultural value). • Jewish Tanakh (Hebrew Bible): does not include them. ⸻ 3. Why It Matters • Historical Bridge: Maccabees cover the period between the Old Testament prophets and the New Testament (the “intertestamental period”). • Faith & Martyrdom: They emphasize faithfulness to God under persecution, foreshadowing New Testament themes of endurance (e.g., Hebrews 11). • Jesus’ Time: The world He was born into was shaped by the events of the Maccabean revolt—Jewish independence, Pharisees/Sadducees, and heightened longing for the Messiah. ⸻ 👉 So, while not in every Christian Bible, the Books of Maccabees are crucial for understanding Jewish history, the background of the New Testament, and the origins of Hanukkah
