Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Book of Daniel From the Christian Standpoint: With Essay on Alleged Historical Difficulties, by the Editor of the Babylonian and Oriental Record
Nor does it profess to be a history of the period which is embraced in the life-time of Daniel - either Jewish, Baby Ionian, or Persian. For example, it contains no record of the wars of N ebuchadnezzar with Palestine, Egypt, Tyre, and other places; and it contains no record of the conquests of Cyrus, not even of the battles which ended in the taking of Babylon - a fact which we shall see has an impo: tent bearing on an objection which has been persistently made against the book. The contents of the book are limited to facts of a strictly religious character which revealed and declared the will of Jehovah, the God Of Israel, in the face Of the idolatries of the conquering powers to which the people Of Israel were subjected-with Visions that were prophetic of a future in which both Israel and the world were interested.
