Die Jüdische Revolution
-
Johannes Christian Bernhardt
About this book
In 168 BCE, the Seleucid King Antiochus IV intervened against the Temple cult in Jerusalem, resulting in a revolt by the Hasmoneans that led to their establishment as high priests and to the independence of Judea. This study examines the causes and the consequences of the revolt as an historical process and offers a political-theological interpretation of the events.

Reviews
"[...] das Buch empfiehlt sich durchaus als Standardwerk zum Thema."
Martin Rösel in: Theologische Literaturzeitung 144 (2019), 444-445
"Das anzuzeigende Buch bietet eine neue Gesamtdarstellung des Makkabäeraufstandes. Bernhardt beweist darin exzellente Kenntnis von Forschungsliteratur und Quellen. Er bietet eine klassische ereignisgeschichtliche Narration, ohne kulturgeschichtliche Perspektiven aus dem Blick zu verlieren. Als erste Anlaufstelle für jede Beschäftigung mit dem Judäa des 2.Jahrhunderts v.Chr. kann das Buch daher nur wärmstens empfohlen werden."
Andreas Hartmann in: HZ 309 (2019), 711-712
"Wer sich mit der Geschichte der Makkabäer/Hasmonäer, ja mit der Geschichte des Judentums im 2. Jahrhundert v. Chr. überhaupt beschäftigt, wird an dieser methodisch vorbildlichen, die Quellen mit größter Umsicht auswertenden und mit der nötigen Kraft zur Synthese geschriebenen Untersuchung nicht vorbeikommen: ein in bestem Sinne gelehrtes, noch dazu gut lesbares Buch."
U. Becker in: Zeitschrift für Alttestamentarische Wissenschaft 131/1 (2019), 135-137
"He is fundamentally right on the cause of the revolt, and he makes a number of interesting suggestions."
John J. Collins in: Biblioteca Orientalis 76.1-2 (2019), 183-186
"This is a major contribution to Hasmonaean history. B.’s theses are well argued, with extensive primary and secondary bibliography, and will need careful and thoughtful consideration."
Lester L. Grabbe in: Journal for the Study of the Old Testament 42.5 (2018), 32-33
"That Bernhardt's critical, suspicious, and detailed reading of the sources, while relating to much scholarly literature that focuses on cultural and religious history, focuses instead on power politics, makes this volume a refreshing addition to the bookshelf."
Daniel R. Schwartz in: sehepunkte 18.9 (2018), http://www.sehepunkte.de/2018/09/31318.html
"Bernhardt's monograph offers a wealth of intformation; it covers an enormous amount of primary sources and secondary literature but also offers an articulate fresh contribution to the scholarship on this revolt."
Jan Willem van Henten in: Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2018.11.36
