Synopsis

This book challenges the historical accuracy of the Book of Daniel and presents an alternative interpretation, arguing that it was written after the events it claims to have foretold. The author aligns with the 'higher criticism' approach to biblical studies, proposing that the book was composed in the 2nd century BCE by a Jewish author, making it a work of historical fiction rather than prophecy. The author aims to shed light on the historical and literary context of the book, exploring its themes and ideas, and offering a fresh perspective on its significance within the broader biblical and historical landscape. This thought-provoking and well-researched book is a valuable contribution to the ongoing exploration and interpretation of the Book of Daniel, providing insights for scholars, theologians, and anyone interested in the history and impact of biblical texts.
