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"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aJews$xKings and rulers$xBrothers 606 $aMaccabees 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aJews$xKings and rulers$xBrothers. 615 0$aMaccabees. 676 $a229/.7095 700 $aHonigman$b Sylvie$f1965-$0621960 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463962603321 996 $aTales of high priests and taxes$92491578 997 $aUNINA
