Abstract

A horrifying story of suicide is found in 2Macc 14:37-46. Surprisingly, the act isnot condemned; it is even highly praised. Can it be assumed then that the Bibleapproves suicide acts? To answer that question, we need to study the passagecarefully and compare it to other suicide stories that can be found in the OldTestament and Deuterocanonical books. Since the passage is considered as a storyof martyrdom, we need to consider also the Bible and Jewish traditions’ point ofview on martyrdom. There are many varying points of view that demand cautionwhen drawing conclusions on this controversial issue, by weighing in the contextof the story, political forces that influence the writing of the story, moral aspectsand avoiding literal interpretation of the Bible.

Abstract

The story of Judith seems less convenient for Scripture readers today. Judith, an ordinary Israeli widow, uses her beauty to establish herself in the camp of the Assyrian army. She deceives and lies to them. She then puts the commander of the Assyrian army into her deadly trap and kills him in his total unconsciousness. Should we call those heroic deeds? Does Judith deserve to be called a heroine? Moreover, despite the fact that Judith’s courage is praised, there are some verses in the book of Judith which are oppressive to women, including to Judith herself. These verses emphasize the negative attitudes held by the Israelite society toward women.
