Abstract

How these events came to be written, who told the stories, and what reasons motivated such divergent yet parallel interpretations are the questions Jonathan A. Goldstein, translator and commentator on both Maccabaean histories, addresses here. Goldstein utilizes the full array of scholarly tools to examine the critical issues raised by II Maccabees. By examining its language and style, its Hellenic yet Jewish flavor, its comparison and relationship to I Maccabees, its use of sacred writings (Torah and Prophets), its historical context, and the role of the miraculous, Goldstein thoroughly elucidates this powerful account of a pivotal period in Jewish history.As the commentary makes clear, II Maccabees focuses on certain themes: miracles as God's tools for shaping history; the holiness of the Jerusalem temple; the dynamic relationship between the Hasmonaean rulers and their pious opponents; praise of martyrdom; the doctrine of resurrection. An abridgment of Jason of Cyrene's work, II Maccabees advances its own theological perspective to its Greek-speaking audience, refuting the Hasmonaean partisan's view that pervades I Maccabees.Jonathan A. Goldstein, author of I Maccabees, is Professor of History and Classics at the University of Iowa. He earned bachelor's and master's degrees at Harvard, and a doctorate at Columbia University.

Abstract

Le présent ouvrage porte sur la première martyre de la littérature monothéiste, c’est-à-dire la mère anonyme du 7ème chapitre du 2ème livre des Maccabées (2 M). L’exégèse qui y est faite démontre, grâce à une critique structurelle et des analyses narratologique, comparative et philologique, que ce personnage est central, autant dans le texte deutérocanonique que pour la martyrologie, bien qu’il soit généralement éclipsé dans la littérature savante. Or, la particulière virilité des femmes martyres d’hier et d’aujourd’hui s’y inscrit en primeur au verset 7, 21 et la nouvelle traduction proposée par l'auteure bouscule les idées reçues. En effet, les habituels « sentiments féminins » deviennent « une pensée féminine » et le « mâle courage » fait place à « une colère virile ou humaine », selon que l’épithète est comparée au féminin dans le parallélisme croisé du verset ou mise en parallèle avec les colères inhumaines de certains personnages masculins du livre, dont le roi Antiochos IV Épiphane et les guerriers judéens. D’ailleurs, les analyses comparées des éléments identitaires de la martyre avec ceux du roi séleucide permettent de constater que son trouble dans le genre s’observe sur divers plans et contribue indéniablement à son unicité. C’est sans compter que les discours de la mère représentent la plus importante innovation du livre, et ce, tant sur le plan anthropologique que théologique. En somme, l’ouvrage montre que la mère de 2 M 7 est belle et bien « éminemment admirable et digne de bonne mémoire » (2 M 7, 21).

Abstract

2 Maccabees is a Jewish work composed during the 2nd century BCE and preserved by the Church. Written in Hellenistic Greek and told from a Jewish-Hellenistic perspective, 2 Maccabees narrates and interprets the ups and downs of events that took place in Jerusalem prior to and during the Maccabean revolt: institutionalized Hellenization and the foundation of Jerusalem as a polis; the persecution of Jews by Antiochus Epiphanes, accompanied by famous martyrdoms; and the rebellion against Seleucid rule by Judas Maccabaeus. 2 Maccabees is an important source both for the events it describes and for

Abstract

This volume deals with the presentation of the so-called Maccabean martyrs and the elder Razis in 2 and 4 Maccabees, discussing the religious, the political as well as the philosophical aspects of noble death in these writings. It argues that the theme of martyrdom is a very important part of the self-image of the Jews as presented by the authors of both works. Eleazar, the anonymous mother with her seven sons and Razis should, therefore, be considered heroes of the Jewish people. The first part of the book discusses the sources and the second part deals with the descriptions of noble death. This section of the book also offers extensive discussions of related non-Jewish traditions which highlight the political-patriotic dimension of noble death as described in 2 and 4 Maccabees.

Abstract

"In the wake of the conquests of Alexander the Great, the ancient world of the Bible--the ancient Near East--came under Greek rule, and in the land of Israel, time-old traditions and Greek culture met. But with the accession of King Antiochus IV, the soft power of culture was replaced with armed conflict, and soon the Jews rebelled against their imperial masters, as recorded in the Biblical books of Maccabees. Whereas most scholars have dismissed the Biblical accounts of religious persecution and cultural clash, Sylvie Honigman combines subtle literary analysis with deep historical insight to show how their testimony can be reconciled with modern historical analysis by learning to converse with the biblical authors, so to speak, in their own language to understand the way they described their own experiences. Honigman contents that their stories are not mere fantasies but genuine attempts to cope with the massacre that followed the rebellion by giving it new meaning. This reading also discloses fresh political and economic factors"--
