		Jason doubtless presented the events in fine rhetorical language, his style being still easily recognizable in II Maccabees.
		Jason no doubt described the occurrences in detail for the purpose of edifying his readers, chiefly Jews, and of confirming them in their faith.
		The many important details in Jason's work prove that he was not far removed from the events; he therefore probably did not make use of written notes, but obtained his information by word of mouth.

		Whereas the first covers the period from the beginning of the reign of Antiochus IV (175 B.C.) to the accession of John Hyrcanus I (134 B.C.), this present book treats of the events in Jewish history from the time of the high priest Onias III and King Seleucus IV (c.
		Its purpose, whether intended by Jason himself or read into it by the compiler, is to give a theological interpretation to the history of the period.
		In any case, Jason's five-volume work very likely continued the history of the Jews well into the Hasmonean period, so that 2 Maccabees would probably not have been produced much before the end of the second century B.C. The main divisions of 2 Maccabees are:

	2 Maccabees
		The Second Book of Maccabees describes the struggle of the Jews for religious, cultural, and political independence against the Seleucid king Antiochus IV Epiphanes, a Greek who sympathized with the hellenization of Judah.
		The Alexandrian author says that his work is not original, but an excerpt from an earlier history on the same subject by an otherwise unknown Jason of Cyrene, and that this excerpt was made after 124 BCE.
		It is slightly ironic that Jason and the anonymous author of The Second Book of Maccabees wrote a history to make his point, because this literary genre was invented by Greeks.

		Jason acceded to the high priesthood, when Onias, fearing that his days were numbered in the new political climate, fled to Egypt at the accession of Antiochus IV.
		After three years (174-171) Jason was replaced, and, following several further intrigues and a prolonged period of wandering, he finally died among the Spartans, buried in a foreign land and mourned by no one (verse 26; 5:6-10).
		Jason's replacement as high priest was a cousin, another Onias, who is more commonly referred to as Menelaus.

		But W.H. Kosters gives cogent reasons for concluding that the reference to Jason is but a literary device to secure for his own composition the respect accorded in ancient, as in a lesser degree in modern, times to tradition.
		We read such nowhere a large else of a historian called "Jason," or of such a large history at his must have been if it extended to 5 books dealing with the events of 15 years, though such a man and so great a work could hardly have escaped notice.
		In the list of martyrs (chapters 6 f.) no priest appears, but on the other hand, Eleazar, one of the principal scribes--scribes and Pharisees were then as in New Testament times virtually one party--suffered for his loyalty to the national religion, "leaving his death for an example" (6:18-31).

		The author of 2 Maccabees states (2Ma 2:23) that his one-volume work is an abridgment of a certain five-volume work by Jason of Cyrene; but since this latter has not survived, it is difficult to determine its relationship to the present epitome.
		There he was received with great pomp by Jason and the people of the city, who escorted him with torchlights and acclamations; following this, he led his army into Phoenicia.

		The author assures his readers that the creation of his condensed and summarised version of Jason of Cyrene's five-volume history had cost him ``sweat and sleepless nights'' (2:26).
		In fact, Yeshua had even taken the Greek name of Jason-and it is significant that the author of II Maccabees never calls him by his Hebrew name, only by his Greek name.
		When Jason became High Priest, he began to introduce pagan Greek customs and institutions, and in a short time he and his allies had renounced the Law that God had given them through Moses (4:10-17).

		Apparently, even though he made a deliberate attempt to write in a language used in Old Testament writings from the past, his research resembled that of the Greek armchair historians - those who relied on the works of others, and who even re-wrote some of their sources to fit their own purposes.
		The Apocryphal book of 2 Maccabees is the condensed version of a five-volume set of works by Jason of Cyrene.

		It represents an epitome, or condensation, of a five-volume history written by an otherwise unknown Jason of Cyrene probably sometime after 110 b.c.
		Because the Jews themselves have profaned the Temple when the Hellenizers Jason and Menelaus used its treasure and vessels to buy the high-priesthood from Antiochus, God disciplines them by permitting Antiochus to desecrate the Temple (throughout the book God’s punishment tends to fit the crime—see 4:38; 9:5-6; 13:8).
