Daniel and His Prophecies (Classic Reprint)

Book of Daniel, whether with reference to its historical narratives or its prophecies, every commentator must start from some fixed standpoint, whether it be explicitly stated or tacitly assumed. The majority of the critics of the modern school believe that everything which properly falls under the designation of the supernatural ought to be regarded as fabulous. The adoption of such a principle compels those who accept it to regard theB ook of Daniel as a whole as utterly unworthy of credence. For that book presupposes the miraculous in both its narratives and prophecies. If a belief in the super natural be once abandoned, the book (notwithstanding its recognition by our Lord and His A postles) will lose all its value and authority. A professedly Christian commentator ought to follow the teaching of Christ. The books of theO ld Testament, viewed from aC hristian standpoint, derive their authority from the recognition accorded to them by our Lord and the A postles. The historical parts of theO ld Testament endorsed in theN ew Testament writings ought to be accepted by Christians as true. Upon questions of the interpretation of theS criptures there is, however, a wide scope for difference of opinion.
