524.0. "Books on Antiochus Epiphanes???" by YIELD::BARBIERI () Mon Jul 18 1994 17:32

      Hi,
    
        I have been studying Daniel and am wrestling with Ch. 8,
        particularly the horn which comes after the four horns.
        I was wondering if anyone can recommend (or lend me!!)
        any book which accurately and in detail speaks of the
        history surrounding the life of Antiochus Epiphanes.  I'd
        like to see how well he fits the prophecy.
    
        Anyway, please recommend if you know of any books.  Just
        reply here or write me E-Mail.
    
                                         Thanks and God Bless,
    
                                         Tony

	Josephus has a very detailed and horrific account of him, but perhaps not the kind of life-history you're looking for. I'm also assuming you've read the Maccabees books... Try a call to CBD, or, I'm sure any decent library would have plenty of data.
524.2	Thanks	YIELD::BARBIERI		`Mon Jul 18 1994 19:09`	5
	Thanks Steve. And no, I have not read the Maccabees. By this, do you refer to 1 and 2 Maccabees of the apocryphal? Haven't read Josephus either! Tony
524.3	yes, in the apocrypha...	POWDML::SMCCONNELL	Next year, in Jerusalem!	`Mon Jul 18 1994 19:55`	1

524.5	Sounds Good!	YIELD::BARBIERI		`Tue Jul 19 1994 12:42`	7
	Hi John, Great! Can I get them? Surprises me though. The KJ writers did up the Maccabees??! Tony
