Recently the Ancient Jew Review sat down with Dr. Sylvie Honigman to discuss her book, Tales of High Priests and Taxes. The book focuses on the use of narrative patterns in 1 & 2 Maccabees to reconstruct the story.

Our hour long interview has been condensed into three segments: on the use of narrative patterns, how to read the Maccabees, and the meaning of ioudaismos/hellenismos.
