Q

Was it actually written by Daniel at that time? (598 - 605)

A
  • Some argue it was written in 150 BC with a struggle against the greeks.
  • Not actually Daniel as the author? Secular scholars believe this because so many things in Daniel end up looking like it tells the future. If you are secular and don’t believe in prophecy, then u think Daniel wrote history as if it were prophecy.
