Studies in the Book of Daniel: A Bible Commentary on the History, Captivity and Language of Prophet Daniel

<p>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.</p>

Studies in the Book of Daniel: A Bible Commentary on the History, Captivity and Language of Prophet Daniel (Hardcover)

Excerpt from Studies in the Book of DanielIn view of my close and intimate association with Dr. Wilson, a friendship begun in my student days and extending over a period of more than a quarter of a century, it was thought appropriate that I should prepare these articles for the press. I have counted it a privi lege to help in this way to make the writings of a great defender of the faith more widely known. I have had the advantage of access to copies of these articles which contained Dr. Wilson's notes, com ments and corrections. It has not been possible to use all of this material, and certain further changes have also seemed advisable. It has been my aim however to make only such changes as I felt sure that he himself would have approved. Thanks are due to Rev. Les lie W. Sloat, one of the last students privileged to study under Dr. Wilson, for help in preparing the copy for the press, and for assist ance in proof reading. Mr. Sloat has also prepared the index.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
