The volume that contains the books of 1 and 2 Maccabees is called the Apocrypha. Those books and several others considered noncanonical (not authoritative doctrinally) were ultimately excluded from the Jewish and Protestant renditions of The Bible, though historically they were included in the Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Jewish Bible), the Vulgate (a Latin translation of the Bible) and a number of other earlier translations, including Luther's Bible and the 1611 King James version. The Apocrypha are still included today, however, in the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox renditions of the Bible.

Why were the Maccabees books left out of the bible?
1 Maccabees and 2 Maccabees actually are in the Catholic Bible, and can be read there. However, they were not accepted in the Hebrew Bible and are not in the Protestant Bible. One problem with the two books of Maccabees is that, although they were written around the same time and deal with the same period in Judean history, they are too much at variance as to what really happened. Moreover, 1 Maccabees is not really a religious document, while 2 Maccabees is considered by many to be simply too unrealistic to be taken seriously.

How did the Maccabees get their name?
The Maccabees were a Jewish national liberation movement that fought for and won independence from Antiochus IV Epiphanes of the Hellenistic Seleucid dynasty, who was succeeded by his infant son Antiochus V Eupator. The Maccabees founded the Hasmonean royal dynasty and established Jewish independence in the Hasmonean Kingdom for about one hundred years, from 164 BCE to 63 BCE. The Maccabees found their name by flicking through the bible and picking out a random word.

Does eastern orthodox and Roman Catholics use same Maccabees bible?
Catholics (there is no such thing as "Roman Catholic", that is a popular misnomer) use the complete Bible which includes the Old Testament that Jesus Christ used, the Septuagint. The Septuagint does contain the books of 1st and 2nd Maccabees but it is most certainly not called the "Maccabees Bible", just the Holy Bible or Sacred Scripture. The Orthodox Bible contains all kinds of books which were not in the Septuagint, do no, we do not use the same Bibles.
Why is the Book of Maccabees not in the Bible?
A:There are actually four Books of Maccabees, written by different authors and over a period of centuries. 3 Maccabees and 4 Maccabees can probably be excluded because they were clearly written long after the time attributed to Jesus. 2 Maccabees was written shortly after 1 Maccabees.The Catholic Bible does include 1 and 2 Maccabees. Both were in the Septuagint scrolls and for that reason were candidates for inclusion, especially as 2 Maccabees includes awe-inspiring stories of angelic warfare as well as supporting the Catholic concept of purgatory.The Jewish academy had elected not to include either 1 Maccabees or 2 Maccabees, with the later books not yet written, and subsequent Protestant theologians were guided by the Hebrew scriptures.
Why are pyramids not in The Bible?

Where can you get a Bible that has all 73 books?
A:From a purely objective point of view, there is no "all 73 books" of the Bible. Prior to the Council of Jamnia in around 96 CE, there were many books that were used by the Jews for religious purposes, but the Council pruned these to just 39 books that were considered to be inspired. Most Protestant Churches accept these 39 books in the Old Testament, plus the New Testament to make a total of 66 books. The standard Roman Catholic Bible contains 15 additional books such as 1 Maccabees and 2 Maccabees in its Old Testament, and considers them deuterocanonical (second canon), inspired but less so than the canonical books. Any Catholic Bible will provide this more complete set of books. However, most Catholic Bibles do not contain books such as 3 Maccabees and 4 Maccabees. Ethiopian Orthodox Bibles contain books such as Enoch and Jubilees, but not 1 Maccabees and 2 Maccabees.
