Introduction to the Maccabean Revolt (with Jeff Cavins) - 2025

Welcome to the Maccabean Revolt period! Jeff Cavins joins Fr. Mike
to introduce the tenth biblical period in our journey, which begins
with the Greek oppression of the Jews under Antiochus Epiphanes,
and ends with Herodian rule of the Holy Land. Jeff and Fr. Mike
walk us through the key events of this period, highlighting the
zealous response of the Maccabean family, the celebration of
Hanukkah, and the heroic martyrdom of Jews who would not betray
their religious identity in the midst of persecution. For the
