2 Maccabees is a Jewish work composed during the 2nd century BCE
and preserved by the Church. Written in Hellenistic Greek and told
from a Jewish-Hellenistic perspective, 2 Maccabees narrates and
interprets the ups and downs of events that took place in Jerusalem
prior to and during the Maccabean revolt: institutionalized
Hellenization and the foundation of Jerusalem as a polis; the
persecution of Jews by Antiochus Epiphanes, accompanied by famous
martyrdoms; and the rebellion against Seleucid rule by Judas
Maccabaeus. 2 Maccabees is an important source both for the events
it describes and for the values and interests of the Judaism of the
Hellenistic diaspora that it reflects - which are often quite
different from those represented by its competitor, 1 Maccabees.
