| Title | The function of Daniel 1 in a second century BCE historical context | |
| Creator | van Deventer, HJM (Hans) | |
| Description | In the first chapter, the book of Daniel begins with an introduction of the main characters, and a short story about refraining from defilement by eating foreign food. From a literary perspective that focuses on form and content it is clear that this chapter was written as an introduction. This contribution reconsiders what earlier form of the book (Daniel 2-7 or Daniel 2-12) it was meant to introduce. In an attempt to alter scholarly opinion as regards the redaction history of the book of Daniel, the function of this chapter is determined against a second century BCE context.Keywords: Old Testament, Daniel, historical contextDisciplines: History, Biblical Studies, Literary Studies | |
