Introducing students to the Book of Daniel in the Old Testament,
Ernest Lucas examines the book's structure and characteristics. He
covers the latest in biblical scholarship, including historical and
interpretive issues, and considers a range of scholarly approaches.
Lucas shows how understanding of the book is enhanced by
considering it in the context of Mesopotamian culture, literature,
and religion. He also evaluates different arguments concerning the
authorship, date, and provenance of the book. In particular, the
guide focuses on illuminating the book's relationship to both the
tradition of Hebrew prophecy and the later development of Jewish
apocalyptic literature. It also highlights the importance of
understanding the Book of Daniel as "resistance literature", which
intended to encourage faithful Jews to resist the pressures of
conformity to the pagan culture in which they lived, and to endure
through persecution if necessary. With suggestions of further
reading at the end of each chapter, this guide will be an essential
accompaniment to study of the Book of Daniel.
