The Age of the Maccabees. With special reference to the Religious Literature of the Period (1898) is a book by Annesley William Streane.
Abstract
A text primarily concerned with the Pseudepigraphic literature of the first two centuries BCE, Streane begins with a critical (largely following the lead of Schürer) historical treatment running from the return from the exile until Herod the Great, in order to place in a historical context the texts with which he will deal. The ‘post-canonical’ materials are treated with an advanced critical eye and a sophisticated level of philological analysis. While Streane acknowledges many historical benefits in the study of this literature, he primarily finds the texts useful as a means of closing the gap between the Old and New Testaments. However, almost entirely lacking throughout the work are the types of anti-Jewish polemics common to much European Christian scholarship of the time.
