The Human and the Divine in History investigates the possibility
that the author of Daniel knew and drew upon the Histories of
Herodotus. Daniel uses and develops Herodotean concepts such as the
succession of world empires, dynastic dreams, and the focus on both
human and divine cauration in explaining historical events. A
comparative reading of these two texts illuminates DanielGCOs
theology of history, showing it to be neither as exclusively
eschatological nor as sectarian as is often supposed. Rather, it is
specifically the end of exileGCounderstood as foreign
dominationGCothat Daniel envisions for the entire Jewish people.
