The terms to describe politics have their own long history that dates back to the Greek world before Rome reached its prime. The use of these terms to represent Judas’ policy towards Rome in 1 Macc 8:1 was not an artificial ingenuity of the author but rather his intentional borrowing. By utilising terms from the spheres of politics and diplomacy, the author was capable of matching them with the everlasting value of the message contained in the inspired text. This message was extremely important for the author. Thus he was able to harmonise elements of world politics with God’s action. The Lord would use everything made by humans to exercise His will toward His own people.enCC-BY-ND - Uznanie autorstwa - Bez utworów zależnychHellenistic worldRoman republicpoliticsdiplomacyFirst Book of the MaccabeesJude MaccabaeusBibleOld Testamentbiblical studiesexegesisbiblical exegesistheologybiblical theologyGreek political vocabularypolitical vocabularyGreek political vocabulary in the First Book of the MaccabeesGreek political vocabulary in 1 Maccabees 8świat hellenistycznyrepublika rzymskapolitykadyplomacjaPierwsza Księga MachabejskaJuda MachabeuszBibliaPismo ŚwięteStary Testamentbiblistykaegzegezaegzegeza biblijnateologiateologia biblijnagreckie słownictwo politycznesłownictwo politycznegreckie słownictwo polityczne w Pierwszej Księdze Machabejskiejgreckie słownictwo polityczne w 1 Mch 81 Mch 8Article
