Synopsis

Challenging the history in Daniel with careful, documentary evidence. This scholarly work examines the historical statements in the Book of Daniel and explores related chronological, geographical, and philosophical questions. It shows how to test objections by weighing sources, comparing documents, and using reasoned analysis.

The volume lays out a clear method: present an objection, state the underlying assumptions, provide documentary evidence, and draw conclusions grounded in testimony. It also explains how a careful reading of Hebrew, Aramaic, and other sources can illuminate why certain claims about Daniel may or may not be valid, without guessing beyond the text.

• How critics approach Daniel’s historical questions and the author’s rebuttals


• Analysis of Nebuchadnezzar’s campaigns, the interpretation of ancient sources, and the role of chronology


• Discussion of names, languages, and how terms for rulers and peoples were used in the ancient world


• Examination of the relationship between Daniel’s narratives and other ancient records

Ideal for readers of biblical history, Daniel studies, and students seeking a rigorous, evidence‑based approach to ancient sources. This edition is especially helpful for anyone exploring how historical questions are settled in biblical critique.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

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.
