Daniel - A Christian Thinktank

(4th Qumran cave where most Dead Sea Scrolls came from)

… Conclusion at the end of this article in the above link.

Now, if:

1.        We have early manuscripts from DSS that virtually require a pre-Maccabean date for their exemplar (under commonly accepted 'literary diffusion' time requirements);

2.        ALL the major pre-Maccabean literature--regardless of provenance(!)--utilize elements from  Daniel;

3.        All the "possibly" to "quite probably" pre-Maccabean literature--regardless of provenance--utilize elements from Daniel;

4.        The Maccabean and post-Maccabean works of significance--regardless of sectarian perspective--utilize Daniel;

5.        ALL of the sources closest in time, expertise, and eyewitness-access to the situation [i.e., Qumran, NT, Josephus, Rabbinics] describe Daniel's writings as prophecies of the future(NOT the past!);

6.        ALL of the sectarian groups accept Daniel as canonical;

7.        Several of the documents discussed suggest a date for Daniel around the end of the 4th/start of the 3rd century BCD;

And

8.        The most probable direction of borrowing, in each case, is FROM Daniel...

Then, isn't the discussion over? Isn't that a strong enough case to demonstrate that Daniel is at least pre-Maccabean?

These references  are what's called 'external evidence' and it vastly outweighs as historical evidence that subjective area we call 'internal evidence'. We have not settled a date for Daniel, or its character (that will be assessed in discussions of the problems associated with internal evidence [i.e., historical and linguistic considerations]), but the data we have reviewed should be recognized as being quite strong that the controlling paradigm of a late-date for Daniel needs 'adjusting'...

Where this leaves us is quite clear: ALL the external, manuscript, and literary data we have supports a pre-Maccabean date for the material in Daniel.
