Yeah, I actually worded that really badly, too! I think I really meant something more like "what do the Books of Maccabees mean in a Jewish context", how do they work, etc. Partly because I was explaining to someone else about the Torah and the prophecy books and the Talmud, etc, and was trying to work out myself how Maccabees would fit.
I didn't mean it to be too researchy - I'd like to know how it looks from your perspective, as it were, because formal research is something I can do myself but you can give me a good impression!
(...can you guess what topic I'm presenting to the Bible study group on tomorrow...)
Miscellaneous. Eclectic. Random. Perhaps markedly literate, or at least suffering from the compulsion to read any text that presents itself, including cereal boxes.
