 USCCB - NAB - 1maccabees - Introduction
Salvation is paralleled with Jewish national aspirations (1 Macc 4:46-14:41), in contrast to the universal reign of God taught by Christ in the Gospel (Matthew 13:47-50; 22:1-14).
he name Maccabee, probably meaning "hammer," is actually applied in the Books of Maccabees to only one man, Judas, third son of the priest Mattathias and first leader of the revolt against the Seleucid kings who persecuted the Jews (1 Macc 2:4, 66; 2 Macc 8:5, 16; 10:1, 16).
There are seven poetic sections in the book which imitate the style of classical Hebrew poetry: four laments (1 Macc 1:25-28, 36-40; 2:8-13; 3:45), and three hymns of praise of "our fathers" (1 Macc 2:51-64), of Judas (1 Macc 3:3-9), and of Simon (1 Macc 14:4-15).

First Maccabees was originally written in Hebrew and is usually dated 100 B.C. It begins with the the reign of Antiochus IV in 175 B.C, the rebellion of Mattathias in 167 B.C. and ends with the murder of Simon in 135 B.C. and the reign of his son, John Hyrcanus I in 134 B.C..
The Pharisees of the times of Jesus Christ were the layman followers of Judas Maccabee, while the Sadducees were the priests followers of Simon Maccabee.
The Second Book of Maccabees is not, as the name might suggest, a continuation of the First, but covers part of the same ground, from the time of the high priest Onias III and King Seleucus IV in 180 B.C. to the defeat of Nicanor's army in 161 B.C....

1 Maccabees is a book of the Bible which was probably written about 100 BC, after the restoration of an independent Jewish kingdom.
