Beale, Use of Daniel

by Georg S. Adamsen on January 3, 2008

in Use of the Old Testament

Beale, Gregory K. The Use of Daniel in Jewish Apocalyptic Literature and in the Revelation of St. John. Lanham, Maryland: University Press of America, 1984. xiv + 349 pp.

Beale’s thesis is based on his 1980 Cambridge Ph. D. dissertation with some revision.

It is an important study for many reasons. Firstly, Beale makes a significant methodological contribution to this then new field of study. Secondly, he provides many insights into both Daniel and Revelation.
