The First Book of the Maccabees describes events in Jewish history from
the time of Antiochus Epiphanes (175 B.C.) to the rise of John Hyrcanus (134
B.C.).
The historical interest of the book centers in the Hasmonean, or Maccabean,
family, and it supports the view that they are divinely chosen to save
Israel. The book also has a strong religious theme: God is at work in history
and will give victory as a reward to those who are faithful to him.
