This essay does not dwell yet again on traditional issues associated with 2 Maccabees usually discussed through a Jewish lens by dozens of modern scholars. It also does not view the book within its traditional Jewish Hellenistic “Sitz im Leben,” with its self-evident Hellenistic-Jewish reading audience, and its aim is neither to draw a distinction between Greek topoi and biblical motifs nor to discuss its values as an historical text. Rather, the article assumes a pagan reading publicum alongside a Jewish Hellenistic one that, in contradistinction with its Jewish audience, could easily see in 2 Maccabees a standard narrative of a life in a Greek polis under foreign rule, where the “ancestral constitution” plays a significant role, so typical of Greek poleis from the classical period (Delian league) through the Hellenistic era (Macedonian Ptolemaic and Seleucid empires). Reading the book as a Greek would have can give us new insights concerning its socio-political and theological message (independently of its Jewish one). The article reconstructs a politeia as a learned Greek would have done. The book can actually be read as a reflection, or rather a microcosmos of the second century B.C.E. in the Greek sphere during the Hellenistic period. The overall message of the book emerges different than that broadcasted to the Hellenistic Jews, and constitutes a rich mine of theoretical information about the relationship between a subject city and an empire.

希腊政治思想中被忽略的论文:关于两部马加比作为希腊化的政治神学表现的文章

本文不再赘述与数十只现代学者通常通过犹太人的角度讨论的与2只马卡比有关的传统问题。它也没有在具有传统的希腊希腊语阅读者的传统犹太希腊希腊语“ Sitz im Leben”中查看这本书,其目的既不是在希腊拓扑结构和圣经主题之间进行区分,也不是在讨论其价值观,即历史文本。相反,本文假设一个异教徒的阅读报刊,以及一个犹太希腊化小说,与犹太听众形成鲜明对比,可以很容易地在2个马卡比中看到外国统治下希腊大都会生活的标准叙述,在这里,“祖先的宪法”发挥了作用。发挥重要作用 从古典时期(Delian联盟)到古希腊时代(马其顿托勒密和塞琉古帝国)的希腊极地神的典型特征。以希腊语阅读该书可以为我们提供有关其社会政治和神学信息的新见解(与犹太教义无关)。这篇文章重建了一个有学问的希腊人会做的礼貌。实际上,这本书可以理解为希腊文化时期希腊范围内公元前2世纪的缩影,或者更确切地说是缩影。这本书的总体信息与广播给希腊希腊人的信息有所不同,并且构成了有关主题城市与帝国之间关系的丰富理论信息之源。以希腊语阅读该书可以为我们提供有关其社会政治和神学信息的新见解(与犹太教义无关)。这篇文章重建了一个有学问的希腊人会做的礼貌。实际上,这本书可以理解为希腊文化时期希腊范围内公元前2世纪的缩影或缩影。这本书的总体信息与广播给希腊希腊人的信息有所不同,并且构成了有关主题城市与帝国之间关系的丰富理论信息之源。以希腊语阅读该书可以为我们提供有关其社会政治和神学信息的新见解(与犹太教义无关)。这篇文章重建了一个有学问的希腊人会做的礼貌。实际上,这本书可以理解为希腊文化时期希腊范围内公元前2世纪的缩影,或者更确切地说是缩影。这本书的总体信息与广播给希腊希腊人的信息有所不同,并且构成了有关主题城市与帝国之间关系的丰富理论信息之源。在希腊时期的希腊范围内。这本书的总体信息与广播给希腊希腊人的信息有所不同,并且构成了有关主题城市与帝国之间关系的丰富理论信息之源。在希腊时期的希腊范围内。这本书的总体信息与广播给希腊希腊人的信息有所不同,并且构成了有关主题城市与帝国之间关系的丰富理论信息之源。
