Summary

The First Book of Maccabees is a gripping historical account of Jewish resistance against Hellenistic oppression in the 2nd century BCE. It chronicles the heroic deeds of the Maccabean family—especially Judas Maccabeus—as they lead a revolt to restore religious freedom and rededicate the desecrated Temple in Jerusalem. A tale of courage, faith, and national identity, it offers a vivid portrait of a people's struggle to uphold their beliefs in the face of tyranny.
