What is the scoffers' theory about the authorship of the book of Daniel?
The scoffers ridicule the book of Daniel and claim it was written by an imposter long after the events had happened, rather than by the young Jew Daniel writing before they happened. They reject the biblical account of Daniel as a contemporary writer.
Les explains that scoffers like to ridicule the book of Daniel. They claim it was written by an imposter long after the events had happened, rather than by this young Jew writing before they happened. He recalls that several years ago someone in his class asked if he was aware of that, and he said he was. The question then was whether he could give proof that they are wrong and that Scripture is right. Immediately one verse came to mind, and he tells his listeners to keep their hand in Daniel and go back with him to Matthew 24.
