The Book of Daniel, Volume 1 Composition and Reception

In this collection of essays, more than 30 leading scholars from Europe, North America and Israel examine the composition and reception of Daniel in eight sections: Review of scholarship and context; near Eastern milieu; interpretation of specific passages; social setting; literary context, including Qumran; reception in Judaism and Christianity; textual history; and theology of Daniel.

Review:

'...a stimulating collection of essays reflecting the current state of the discussion of the book of Daniel by scholars in the forefront of Danielic studies, remarkable for the consistency in quality of the included articles...It is an important acquisition for libraries seeking to maintain a collection of works on current biblical scholarship.' David W. Suter, Journal of Biblical Literature, 2002.
