The Old Testament includes many texts written by hagiographers thatare later on taken up in a new or wider historical-theological context. Inhis work, the author of the First Book of Maccabees used earlier textsfrom the inspired books. He did not, however, quote them explicitly, bututilized chosen terminological borrowings. The material of the Books ofChronicles is part of the hagiographer’s wider project of borrowing thetheology of almost all the protocanonical books in order to strengthenhis narration. He used descriptions of events, people and their behaviourwhich were a point of reference with regards to the evaluation of the actionof particular characters during the time of the Maccabean Revolt. On theone hand, the theology of the previous biblical books lays the foundationsfor writing one’s own original work. On the other hand, this work shedsmeaningful light on the theological potential of the previous texts and thusopens them for the future.
