E-grāmata: Daniel: An Introduction and Study Guide: Sovereignty, Human and Divine

With clarity and insight, Ernest Lucas guides readers through the key issues involved in the interpretation of Daniel. Lucas deep awareness of the sources shines through, as does his judicious assessment of the main debates. A real strength of this study guide is that he not only tells readers about the book of Daniel, he provides a path for them to read and engage with it themselves, making this a vital resource for those who study and teach Daniel. * David G. Firth, Trinity College Bristol, UK and University of the Free State, South Africa * I doubt if there is a book in the Old Testament that is more confusing than Daniel, and when scholars seek to explain the book, they can easily make the situation worse. Dr Lucas is the exception. He cannot alter the fact that studying Daniel is a challenge. He does introduce Daniel as straightforwardly, intelligibly, and reliably as anyone could. * John Goldingay, Fuller Theological Seminary, USA * The volume offers balanced coverage of most critical matters for Daniel as a whole and within the books major text units. This up-to-date and accessible introduction to the study of Daniel and its major interpretive issues will serve both students and scholars looking for a helpful overview and a starting place for deeper study. * The Religious Studies Reviews * With clarity and insight, Ernest Lucas guides readers through the key issues involved in the interpretation of Daniel.
