This article uses Hans Frei's famous image of the ‘eclipse’ of biblical narrative to explore the link between situating the book of Daniel historically and grasping its theological point(s). The critical/conservative stand-off over the book of Daniel is rehearsed by way of key agenda-setting Victorian voices, and it is then argued that Frei's perspective allows the reader to move on from assessing descriptive accuracy towards focusing on ascriptive purpose(s). Various examples of how such an ascriptive approach might clarify Daniel are considered, including specific attention to the complexities of Daniel 11’s problematic relationship to what did and did not happen to Antiochus Epiphanes.

丹尼尔叙述的蚀：丹尼尔神学阅读中历史知识的局限性

本文使用汉斯·弗莱（Hans Frei）著名的圣经叙述中的“日蚀”图像来探讨在历史上放置但以理书和把握其神学观点之间的联系。丹尼尔之书的批判性/保守性对峙是通过设定议程的主要维多利亚风格声音来演练的，然后有人认为弗莱的观点使读者能够从评估描述准确性转向着重于描述性目的。 。考虑了各种如何用这种描述性方法阐明丹尼尔的例子，包括特别注意丹尼尔11的问题关系的复杂性，以及安提阿古斯·Epiphanes所经历的和未经历的问题。
