Dating of Daniel Controversy
October 8, 2024 • Jeff Reed, Mike James, AJ Sanchez
The Book of Daniel asserts that it was written during the Babylonian exile, specifically in the sixth century BCE, which aligns with its narrative context. Contrary to the claims of Bible minimalists, textual critics, and atheists who challenge its authenticity, the text clearly attributes authorship to Daniel himself. This self-identification as the author suggests a personal perspective on the events and visions described within the book. In this episode guest AJ Sanchez demonstrates that the traditional timeline and authorship remain valid, supporting the book's historical and theological significance.
