Inhaltsangabe

Explore how the book of Daniel fits within ancient Near Eastern history using careful evidence and context.

This scholarly work examines Daniel in light of the broader Old Testament canon and the cultures that shaped it. It aims to show how textual clues, archaeological materials, and contemporary writings can be read together to test assumptions about the book’s date, authorship, and historical setting. The discussion moves from general principles to specific cases, always grounding conclusions in documentary evidence rather than assertion.

• How biblical texts align with or diverge from Babylonian and Persian records and monuments
• How different reckoning of kings’ regnal years can affect interpretation
• How terms for rulers and peoples reflect political realities of the ancient world
• How debates about Daniel’s authorship and historical reliability are approached with careful methodology

Ideal for readers who want a guided, evidence-based look at Daniel’s historical framework and its implications for understanding the biblical text.
