"Occasionally God gives to His Church a man of unusual gifts, deep
piety, and true insight. Such a man was the late Robert Dick Wilson
(1856-1930). Dr. Wilson lived at a time when the Old Testament was
being subjected to some of the severest attacks and criticisms that
it had ever received. He himself was a devout Christian and grieved
over these attacks. He also had an insight into their nature and
into the need for refuting them. And he had the God-given ability
for standing up to the challenge which these attacks constituted,
accepting it and seeking to give an answer." -from Introduction by
E.J. Young
This commentary on the Biblical Book of Daniel answers crucial
questions about the significance of his prophecy, and of the
culture he lived among. Not content with simply interpreting the
prophecy of Daniel, Robert Dick Wilson delves into the social,
historical and cultural aspects of ancient Babylonia. The
significance of Nebuchadnezzar II in the story of Daniel, how his
dreams were interpreted to become some of the most significant
aspects of Old Testament prophecy, is discussed. Other chapters
focus on the Chaldeans and their society, the opposition that
Babylon had to Israel - Daniel himself being a captive Hebrew man,
taken from his homeland as a child - and the possibility that
Nebuchadnezzar was mentally ill. The allusions to the events at the
King's court in the Book of Daniel are examined in detail, with
conclusions drawn to the most reasonable extent possible.
