In Daniel's Mysticism of Resistance in Its Seleucid Context,
Timothy L. Seals proffers a postcolonial interpretation of the book
of Daniel, investigating certain texts that constitute Daniel's
mystical way or practice. Daniel uses mysticism to resist the
repressive script of Antiochus IV outlawing the Jewish religion in
167 BCE. In his use of non-violence to resist the imperial power of
the Seleucids, Daniel stands in the non-violent, passive-resistant
tradition of both Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr. Daniel
uses mysticism both to resist imperial intrusions into his humanity
and to decolonize his mind in the aftermath of colonization. In
this endeavor, mysticism proves to be world-affirming.
