In many ways, the Old Testament book of Daniel is an enigma. It
consists of two different kinds of material: stories about Judean
exiles working in the court of pagan kings (chapters 1-6) and
accounts of visions experienced by one of these exiles (chapters
7-12). It is written in two languages, Hebrew and Aramaic, and the
language division does not match the subject division. Whether the
book's affinities lie more with the Hebrew prophets or with later
Jewish apocalypses is debated, as are its affinities with the
wisdom traditions of both Israel and Babylon. Refreshingly, Enest
Lucas postpones much of the discussion of such issues to an
Epilogue, and invites the reader to an investigation of the meaning
of the text in the form in which we now have it. He identifies the
central theme of the book as the sovereignty of the God of Israel.
With even-handedness and clarity, Lucas demonstrates that, for
preachers and teachers, there is much in Daniel that is fairly
readily understandable and applicable, and that there are also
theological depths that are rewarding for those willing to plumb
them and wrestle with the issues they raise.
