Daniel: An Introduction and Study Guide: Sovereignty, Human and Divine (T&T Clark’s Study Guides to the Old Testament)

Introducing students to the Book of Daniel in the Old Testament, Ernest Lucas examines the book's structure and characteristics. He covers the latest in biblical scholarship, including historical and interpretive issues, and considers a range of scholarly approaches. Lucas shows how understanding of the book is enhanced by considering it in the context of Mesopotamian culture, literature, and religion. He also evaluates different arguments concerning the authorship, date, and provenance of the book. In particular, the guide focuses on illuminating the book's relationship to both the tradition of Hebrew prophecy and the later development of Jewish apocalyptic literature. It also highlights the importance of understanding the Book of Daniel as "resistance literature", which intended to encourage faithful Jews to resist the pressures of conformity to the pagan culture in which they lived, and to endure through persecution if necessary. With suggestions of further reading at the end of each chapter, this guide will be an essential accompaniment to study of the Book of Daniel.

¿Puede la ciencia explicarlo todo?¿Cumple la fe algún papel en la ciencia?¿Es el origen de la vida parte de la evolución?¿Quién fue Adán?¿Muestra la naturaleza huellas de un diseño inteligente?¿Dónde estaba el Edén?Este libro ofrece un enfoque fresco y relevante de algunas de las preguntas que más nos inquietan, preguntas como ¿de dónde venimos? y ¿por qué estamos aquí? Trata acerca del Génesis y hasta qué punto los descubrimientos científicos nos pueden ayudar a comprenderlo.La comprensión que el Génesis presenta de la realidad, sostiene Lucas, es como la impresión que un artista tiene de un edificio, mientras que la visión científica se asemeja a los planos de un arquitecto. Esto nos ayuda a apreciar el profundo alcance de la interacción de la Biblia con la ciencia. Para los cristianos, la verdad científica debe ser vista dentro del marco proporcionado por la visión particular de la realidad que es fruto de la aceptación de la enseñanza de la Biblia. Los resultados de dicha perspectiva son sorprendentemente relevantes para hoy.
