Segment 16: People Hope for a Savior
Presenter: Jorge A. González
The author of Daniel sets the story in the period of the Babylonian
exile to draw parallels between the story of Daniel and the time in
which the book is being written. Apocalypticism, characterized by
symbolic language and the division of history into present and future
ages, provides the theme and the literary form for the Book of
Daniel. The book is structured into six dreams and four visions. It
includes the theological ideas of resurrection of the body and hope
for a Messiah and the expectation that the present age will soon end.
