studies in the book of daniel a discussion of the historical questions

Book cover
In the preface to the book the author says: This volume is concerned especially with the objections made to the historical statements contained in the book of Daniel, and treats incidentally of chronological, geographical, and philosophical questions. In a second volume, it is my intention to discuss the objections made against the book on the ground of philological assumptions based on the nature of the Hebrew and Aramaic in which it is written. In a third volume, I shall discuss Daniel's relation to the canon of the Old Testament as detennining the date of the book, and in connection with this the silence of Ecclesiasticus with reference to
Daniel, the alleged absence of an observable influence of Daniel upon post-captivity literature, and the whole matter of apocalyptic literature, especially in its relation to predictive prophecy.
From Robert Dick Wilson (1856 –1930), an American linguist and Presbyterian scholar who devoted his life to an attempt to prove the reliability of the Hebrew Bible.
