Throughout history, there has been uncertainty as to which texts should be included in the "holy scriptures." The Books of The Maccabees are part of a group of fourteen books called the Apocrypha which, when included, are considered part of the Old Testament. These books, however, while uncluded by some, are rejected by others because they are not believed to be holy (i.e. they are "bad"). Nevertheless, the Apocrypha, like the rest of the biblical books, comprises primary sources and is valuable to historical research.

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.

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.

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.
What are the inter-testamental writings?
The Intertestamental writings include the books of First and Second Maccabees. They chronicle the fight between Antiochus Epiphanes and the family of the Maccabees. They are not included in the current Protestant Canon, but are found in the Roman Catholic Bible.
