Explore how the book of Daniel fits within ancient Near Eastern history using careful evidence and context.

This scholarly work examines Daniel in light of the broader Old Testament canon and the cultures that shaped it. It aims to show how textual clues, archaeological materials, and contemporary writings can be read together to test assumptions about the book’s date, authorship, and historical setting. The discussion moves from general principles to specific cases, always grounding conclusions in documentary evidence rather than assertion.

How biblical texts align with or diverge from Babylonian and Persian records and monuments
How different reckoning of kings’ regnal years can affect interpretation
How terms for rulers and peoples reflect political realities of the ancient world
How debates about Daniel’s authorship and historical reliability are approached with careful methodology

Ideal for readers who want a guided, evidence-based look at Daniel’s historical framework and its implications for understanding the biblical text.

Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

This volume is concerned especially with the objections made to the historical statements contained in the book of Daniel, and treats incidentally of chronological, geographical, and philosophical questions. In a second volume, it is my intention to discuss the objections made against the book on the ground of philological assumptions based on the nature of the Hebrew and Aramaic in which it is written. In a third volume, I shall discuss Daniel srelation to the canon of the Old Testament as determining the date of the book, and in connection with this the silence of Ecclesiasticus with reference to Daniel, the alleged absence of an observable influence of Daniel upon post-captivity literature, and the whole matter of apocalyptic literature, especially in its relation to predictive prophecy. The method pursued is to give first of all a discussion of some of the principles involved in the objections considered in the pages following; then, to state the objections with the assumptions on which they are based; next, to give the reasons why these assumptions are adjudged to be false; and, lastly, to sum up in a few words the conclusions to be derived from the discussion.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the historical accuracy of the Old Testament's Book of Daniel, addressing objections raised against its chronological, geographical, and philosophical assertions. The author meticulously examines criticisms aimed at the book, exploring the underlying assumptions and confronting them with historical evidence from various sources, including Assyrian, Babylonian, Egyptian, and Hebrew documents. By comparing accounts from different ancient civilizations, the author demonstrates how the absence of supporting evidence in one record does not necessarily negate the validity of another. The book delves into specific objections, such as the existence of Daniel as a historical figure and the accuracy of events like Nebuchadnezzar's expedition against Jerusalem. It navigates through complex historical details, including the use of the word "king" in Semitic languages, the identification of Belshazzar, and the existence of Darius the Mede. The book challenges the notion that pronouncements and decrees by ancient rulers, as depicted in Daniel, were implausible, drawing parallels with historical edicts from various empires. By presenting a comprehensive analysis of historical and linguistic evidence, this book offers valuable insights into the Book of Daniel, reaffirming its significance within the broader context of ancient history and literature. Ultimately, it underscores the importance of rigorous historical investigation and the limitations of arguments based solely on the absence of evidence. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781330232637_0
