Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the historical accuracy of the Old Testament's Book of Daniel, addressing objections raised against its chronological, geographical, and philosophical assertions. The author meticulously examines criticisms aimed at the book, exploring the underlying assumptions and confronting them with historical evidence from various sources, including Assyrian, Babylonian, Egyptian, and Hebrew documents. By comparing accounts from different ancient civilizations, the author demonstrates how the absence of supporting evidence in one record does not necessarily negate the validity of another. The book delves into specific objections, such as the existence of Daniel as a historical figure and the accuracy of events like Nebuchadnezzar's expedition against Jerusalem. It navigates through complex historical details, including the use of the word "king" in Semitic languages, the identification of Belshazzar, and the existence of Darius the Mede. The book challenges the notion that pronouncements and decrees by ancient rulers, as depicted in Daniel, were implausible, drawing parallels with historical edicts from various empires. By presenting a comprehensive analysis of historical and linguistic evidence, this book offers valuable insights into the Book of Daniel, reaffirming its significance within the broader context of ancient history and literature. Ultimately, it underscores the importance of rigorous historical investigation and the limitations of arguments based solely on the absence of evidence.
