Sinopsis

Uncover the questions behind Daniel with a scholarly introduction that clarifies its origins and history.

In this revised edition, R. H. Charles explains the book’s background, including its likely Aramaic starting point and later Hebrew translations. The work also traces how the text moved across languages, grew with glosses, and spread through Greek and Syriac versions. It situates Daniel in the turbulent era of Antiochus Epiphanes and the Jewish response, offering a clear view of why the text carries a pseudonymous voice and how its themes connect with apocalyptic prophecy. What you’ll get from this book:

  • Context on historical events that shaped the Book of Daniel and its audience.
  • Discussion of language, transmission, and the evolution of the text across versions.
  • Notes on how the book blends prophecy, ethics, and apocalyptic imagery.
  • Guidance on structure, interpretation, and the key terms used in the text.
Ideal for readers seeking a careful, reference-ready guide to Daniel’s origins, composition, and significance in biblical history.
