Modern liberal revisionists can't stomach the view that Daniel correctly prophesied a variety of events that occurred decades and centuries after his time, so they have invented the notion (following the 3rd century A.D. pagan Porphyry) that Daniel was written by an imposter in the 2nd century B.C. who duped ancient Jews into thinking his …
Claims, Reasons, and Evidence about the Book of Isaiah
Good academic research is a function of making claims and supporting those claims with reasons and evidence. Up until the 18th century, preachers and believers lived by the claims about the book of Isaiah that had been made in the books of 2 Chronicles (32:20-23) and 2 Kings (20-8-11), which is that he was a …
