Original Maccabees Bible-OE: With Psalm 151

The Maccabees is a masterpiece of literary and theological import. It savors the legendary in certain aspects of its historical accounts.

However, it borders on a historical narration that is somewhat romanticized to encourage, stimulate and edify the faithful, and to present to outsiders a perspective of a special people.

This is a classical religious text from which four books have been excommunicated from the standard Biblical text. The four books published here are very descriptive of early Jewish history. It outlines early Jewish heroes in the form of the Maccabean brothers who fought religiously against injustice, and on the side of God's people.

This edition also reveals the 151 Psalms, which have also been left out of the Psalms of David, in the BOOK OF PSALMS. A must-read, especially since at one time in colonial British societies the possession of the Maccabees Bible was considered seditious. The text for this edition was reset from an original text from the British Museum Library.
