| Summary: | This article focuses on the experience of Daniel as participant in the visions that are told in Hebrew in the book of Daniel (chs 8-12). In doing so, it argues for a continuity of wise participation in the divine life that has characterized events told in Dan 1-6 and culminating in the throne room vision of ch. 7. Reading Dan 7 as the theological hinge of the book of Daniel, the article argues that the experience of Daniel as visionary in chs. 8-12 sheds further light on the nature of wise participation in the divine life. From the resulting conversation between chs. 8-12 and 1-6, mediated by the throne room vision, emerges a rich and variegated, and occasionally paradoxical picture of the nature of wise participation in the divine life as conveyed in the book of Daniel. |
