Contents:
Title; Table of Contents; Acknowledgments; Abbreviations; CHAPTER 1: The Role of a Canonical Approach; CHAPTER 2: A Canonical Approach; CHAPTER 3: The "Law and the Prophets" in Daniel 9:3-19; CHAPTER 4: Daniel 9:24-27; CHAPTER 5: Ambiguity and Space; CHAPTER 6: Conclusion; APPENDIX: The Dual-Location of the Book of Daniel; Bibliography; Index of Authors; Index of Scripture.
Summary: Few passages in the Old Testament are as enigmatic as Daniel 9:24-27. It makes sense, therefore, that a myriad of interpretations surround these four verses. Expanding on Brevard Childs's brief work on Daniel, Haydon responds to this question with a canonical approach to Dan 9:24-27: reading a text that is shaped to include future generations of faithful interpreters. The first part lays the groundwork for a canonical approach. Whereas most biblical scholars read Daniel 9 through the lens of historical- and composition-critical tools, Childs and his readers frame the chapter within the larger.
