À propos de ce contenu audio
The Fourth Book of Maccabees is a philosophical and theological treatise that explores the supremacy of reason over passion, particularly in the context of Jewish faith and martyrdom. While not part of the Hebrew Bible, it is included in some versions of the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Old Testament.
Unlike the earlier Maccabees books, which focus on historical events, this text emphasizes the strength of faith and the power of rational thought in overcoming emotional and physical suffering. It uses the story of the martyrdom of Eleazar, a Jewish scribe, and the seven Maccabean brothers, who were tortured and killed by King Antiochus IV for refusing to abandon their religious practices, as its central narrative. Through these examples, Fourth Maccabees illustrates how devout adherence to God’s law can empower believers to resist even the most extreme forms of temptation and suffering, making it a profound reflection on virtue, faith, and moral courage.
