The Book of Daniel is a fascinating and complex text, preserving some of the most enduring of biblical images (the fiery furnace, the writing on the wall, the lion’s den). As one of the latest books of the Hebrew Bible, it provides a critical window into the Second Temple Jewish culture from which both Christianity and Rabbinic Judaism emerged. It also has distinctive features that raise all kinds of questions for interpretation: it is written in two languages (Hebrew and Aramaic); contains two very different literary genres (court tales and apocalyptic visions); and has been preserved in two substantively different forms, with the version preserved in Roman Catholic Bibles including several large sections that are absent from the version read in Jewish and Protestant contexts.
In this series, Yale Divinity School Professor Molly Zahn will introduce Daniel with special attention to the historical and literary contexts in which it was composed and transmitted, and to its significance for understanding ancient Jewish thought on themes such as empire, the course of history, and God’s sovereignty and justice.
