Abstract
The chapter treats the biblical Book of Daniel by examining the traditional view that it contains authentic prophecies and the critical view that it describes contemporary events as if they were future. It places Charles’s short commentary on Daniel (1913) in this context and sketches his conclusions in the introduction to the commentary—that the book is pseudonymous and was originally written in Aramaic (ca. 165 b.c.), but to ease its entry into the canon of Scripture, the beginning and end were soon translated into Hebrew. The Greek translation survived in two recensions. The chapter next turns to his larger Daniel commentary that was published in 1929. There is treatment of his correspondence with Oxford University Press while it was being prepared, of his extended study of the development of the Aramaic language and the place of the Aramaic of Daniel within that history, and of his comments on some passages. The chapter includes a survey of reviews of the larger commentary, a brief consideration of its lasting value, and a postscript on the poor sales of the book
