The Use of Daniel in Jewish Apocalyptic Literature and in the Revelation of St. John is unavailable, but you can change that!

A detailed critical analysis of various apocalyptic texts which poses a solution to the problem concerned with the method of studying allusive Old Testament material, particularly from Daniel. This study shows how Daniel helped mold the eschatological thinking of both Jews and Christians around the time of Christ.

For our purposes it is sufficient to accept that Revelation was written in the latter part of the first century A.D..1 Although the significant role of Daniel in this introductory vision has been recognized previously, it will be our task to study its use further and also to understand its relation to the other O.T. allusions which appear in the same context.2 3
