I have read them. These are in the Catholic Bible, and not the Protestant Bible. The books of Maccabees are good for history. I think Judith tells of a ceremony in Heaven for Mary.
Protestants don't consider these books, as Jesus didn't quote from them. Since I am protestant, I view them as interesting.

They're actually good; I found the book of Judith to be particularly inspiring, once you bear the historical context in mind.

Yes. I love them and they are among the more inspiring books of the Old Testament.

I think that's the Catholic Bible. Never read them. What do they say?
