Recent Developments in Daniel Research

<p>This thesis analyzes and evaluates significant directions in Daniel research during the past fifteen to twenty years. The material is organized in two categories (a) introductory, (b) exegetical, which form the two main parts of the thesis.</p> <p>In the first chapter on introductory material I review studies dealing with provenance, authorship, text, and literary style and form of the Book of Daniel. The second chapter examines the interpretations of specific portions of the Book, particularly chapter seven.</p> <p>The general finding of this study shows a more cautious use of extra-Biblical sources for Daniel, and a growing emphasis upon the Biblical, particularly the prophetic connections.</p> <p>The main contribution should lie in the presentation of the general direction taken by the numerous and complex Daniel research of the recent years.</p>
