Summary/Abstract: We cannot form a complete picture of the biblical stories without knowledge of Josephus and the Maccabees. Although the books of the Maccabees have been omitted from the Protestant biblical canon, anyone who is curious about what happened between the Old Testament and the New Testament must read Josephus’s writings and study the stories of the Maccabees. The editors are Dr Viktor Kókai-Nagy, Assistant Professor of the DRTU Department of Biblical Theology and the History of Religion and USJ Department of Biblical Studies and Dr Ádám Vér, Assistant Professor at ELTE Institute of Ancient and Classical Studies.
