Full textThe author of 4 Maccabees has combined several sources, the main of which is certainly 2 Maccabees. He did not just reproduce the story of the martyrs of Eleazar and the seven brothers, but rewrote it in depth. We have endeavored to give an account of his editorial work by relying on the model of the four registers (narrative, discursive, argumentative, liturgical) that we have elaborated on this occasion. The theology of 4 Maccabees differs from that of 2 Maccabees : the lexicon of sovereignty is transferred from God to human Reason which, according to representations of late stoicism, is the upper part of the soul, which nevertheless needs a guide, the Jewish Law given by God. In doing so, the author of 4 Maccabees paradoxically justifies a rather traditional view of Judaism by relying on conceptions borrowed from the Greek speaking dominant culture

Full textLa Septante, un canon de la littérature greco-juive d'abord composé des traductions fidèles du Pentateuque hébreu, et plus tard élargi pour inclure la traduction grecque de l'ensemble du 'corpus' biblique, plus 'apocryphe,' contient deux livres dont le caractère notoire dérivé est explicit: LXX Esther ( F:11) et le deuxième livre des Machabées (2:19-32). Dans cette thèse, et pour ces textes, je me servirai de méthodologie empruntée des Études Descriptives de la Traduction (EDT) avec l'hypothèse que ces textes représentent des 'pseudo-traductions' (des compositions qui prétendent être des traductions directes à partir d'un 'texte source'), mais qui incorporent des documents originaux en vertu de 'déguisements.' En décrivant le produit, en explorant le processus, et en situant la position de ces textes au sein de leur culture-cible, c'est a dire celle des Juifs égyptiens qui parlent le Grecque, les modèles qui ont influencé leurs compositions et le succès de leurs répertoires dans l'élaboration de l'expérience et la production culturelle juive hellénistique peut être évaluée. Je soutiens que LXX Esther et le deuxième livre des Machabées demontrent une compréhension historique de la violence et de la persécution, où la colère de Dieu contre son peuple est transformé en miséricorde par un comportement approprié, la prière dévote, et la volonté de mourir a l'exemplarité des héros et héroïnes juifs. Cette structure narrative, imposée aux traitements existants des événements historiques en question par les adaptateurs de LXX Esther et le deuxième livre des Machabées, a influencé la compréhension et l'enregistrement des expériences de violences qu'ont subit les Juifs dans la période gréco-romaine.

Full textThe maccabean martyrs, Jewish heroes from the epoch of the persecution of Antiochus IV Epiphanes, became integrated into the IV century Christian martyrology. Two Church Fathers, Gregory Nazianzen and John Chrysostom have written panegyrics in their honour. The Maccabean martyrs were known to the Christians through the 2 Book of Maccabees which forms part of the Septuagint canon, and through the apocryphal 4 Book of Maccabees. The eulogies dedicated to the Maccabean martyrs of John and Gregory are dependent on the epideictic tradition of the Second Sophistic. However they also follow the rhetoric model suggested by the 4 Maccabees. The teachings of this book have as well influenced the Church Fathers' preaching by suggesting a combination of the moral behaviour inspired by Greek philosophy and of the values of Judaism. The Maccabees were assimilated to the Christian Martyrs due to the christological bias in the exegesis of their martyrdom account. Their cult could thus be sanctified by a panegyric with all the attributes of a discourse appropriate on a Christian Martyrs' Feast. The Maccabean martyrs were particularly popular in Antioch where their tomb was located. Proving the legitimacy of these martyrs allowed the Church Fathers to establish them as examples of virtue and asceticism for the edification of all Christians

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study looks at a watershed period in the history of Judaism. In 175 B.C.E. a group of Jews sought to break Judaea out of the isolation in which it had stood since the Persian period. They wished to develop closer ties with their neighbours in Coele-Syria and Phoenicia and the Greek world in general. Since the Persian period the people of Judaea had been governed by high priests according to the 'ancestral laws' i.e. the Torah and its interpretation by Ezra. This 'ancestral law' had been confirmed as binding on all Jews by Antiochus III in his decree of 198 B.C.E. In order to move beyond the restrictions placed on contact between Jews and other peoples, it would be necessary to have the political status of Judaea changed. A change of political status could only be brought about by the king or one of his successors. In 175 B.C.E. a group of Jews requested Antiochus IV to permit them to transform Judaea from an ethnos into a polis. He agreed and the transformation was begun. It is these events of 175 B.C.E. that form the base of this study. The writer uses the model of Cultural Anthropology to form a framework in which these and subsequent events can be analysed. In this way we can get a better understanding of how events progressed. How a political reform ended in a religious suppression and persecution and finally a successful revolt against the Seleucid kingdom. The Torah and its interpretation stood at the center of Jewish life. Each group interpreted the law in their own way and understood events in relation to this interpretation. Therefore no analysis of this period can be undertaken without taking the law and its various interpretations into account. The law is the thread that holds all facets of this work together.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie handeloor 'n tydperk van waterskeiding in die geskiedenis van die Judaïsme. In 175 ve. wou 'n groep Jode in Palestina wegbreek uit die isolasie waarin hulle hulleself bevind het sedert die oorname deur die Persiese ryk. Hulle wou graag nouer bande met hulle buurstate en die Griekse wêreld aanknoop. Sedert die Persiese tydperk is die mense van Juda deur hëepriesters regeer, volgens die 'voorvaderlike wette', dws die Torah en sy vertolking volgens Esra. Alle Jode was gebind deur hierdie 'voorvaderlike wette' deur Antiogus III se dekreet van 198 ve. Indien die mense die beperkings teen kontak met ander volke sou wou ophef, sou dit nodig wees om die politieke status van Juda te verander. Net die koning of een van sy opvolgers kon die politieke status van Juda verander. In 175 ve. word Antiogus IV deur 'n groep Jode gevra om verlof om Jerusalem in 'n Griekse polis te omskep. Hy het ingestem en die omskepping het begin. Hierdie gebeurtenisse van 175 ve. vorm die basis van hierdie studie. Die skrywer gebruik die kutuur-antropologiese teoretiese model as raamwerk vir die ontleding van hierdie en opvolgende gebeurtenisse. Hierdie model stelons in staat om die ontwikkelinge in Juda beter te verstaan en meer spesifiek 'n antwoord op die volgende vraag te kry: "Hoekom het politieke hervorming tot godsdienstige verdrukking en vervolging aanleiding gegee en in die finale instansie tot 'n suksesvolle opstand teen die Seleukied koninkryk gelei?" Die Torah en sy vertolking het die sentrum van die Joodse lewe gevorm. Elke groep in Juda het die 'wet' op sy eie manier vertolk en ontwikkelinge in verband daarmee probeer verstaan. Daarom is dit nie moontlik om hierdie tydperk te bestudeer sonder 'n erkenning van die waarde van die 'wet' en sy verskillende vertolkings nie. Die 'wet' is die goue draad wat hierdie studie byeen hou.

The present dissertation proposes to present a study of the processes that occurred in Judea in the second century BC in the light of a comprehensive analysis, seeking to relate them to the beginning of the Roman eastward expansion and the consequent retraction of the Hellenistic kingdoms in the region of the Eastern Mediterranean. It will be establish a relation between events characteristic of Jewish history with events considered external to Jewish history, but that were determinant for the development of the first. Specifically, we sought to understand the evolution of a worldview present in various literary works in the period in Judea (commonly called apocalypsism) and an armed revolt that was equally active in the area during the century in flames (the Maccabean revolt) as a form of opposition and superation of various Hellenistic postulates built during the time when the Near East was overwhelmed by Greco-Macedonian rulers. To do so, we draw on the reflections of the Italian philosopher Antonio Gramsci, mainly from his concepts of Historical Block and Hegemony.
A presente disserta??o se prop?e a apresentar um estudo dos processos que ocorreram na Judeia no s?culo II a.C. ? luz de uma an?lise abrangente, buscando os relacionar, deste modo, ao in?cio da expans?o romana para oriente e a consequente retra??o dos reinos helen?sticos na regi?o do Mediterr?neo Oriental. Ser? estabelecida uma rela??o entre eventos caracter?sticos da hist?ria judaica com eventos considerados externos ? hist?ria judaica, mas que foram determinantes para o desenvolvimento da primeira. De forma espec?fica, buscamos compreender a evolu??o de uma vis?o de mundo presentes em v?rias obras liter?rias no per?odo na Judeia (corriqueiramente chamada de apocalipsismo) e de uma revolta armada igualmente atuante na regi?o durante o s?culo em lume (a revolta dos Macabeus) como uma forma de oposi??o e de supera??o de v?rios postulados helen?sticos constru?dos durante o tempo em que o Oriente Pr?ximo se viu subjugados por dominadores greco-maced?nios. Para tanto, lan?amos m?o das reflex?es do fil?sofo italiano Antonio Gramsci, principalmente de seus conceitos de Bloco Hist?rico e Hegemonia.

Theological concepts and historical events influence each other. Related discussions focus on God's interactions with humanity, and on the historical circumstances in which believers form their convictions. Because of their convenantal relationship with God, the Israeli people hopes for the coming of the Kingdom of God. This issue, in the later Intertestamental Period, became a unique theological topic, and the Maccabean revolution deeply affected this development. In this period, the Jewish conception of the Kingdom of God came to be understood in terms of several elements, which include the Messianic King, the age to come, and a spiritual paradise.
