이 연구는 다니엘서를 역사비평방법을 넘어서서 정경의 관점에서 읽도록 하기 위하여, 최종본문의 통시적인 특성을 강조하는 정경해석방법을 사용하였다. 다니엘서 1-6 장에서 다니엘은 역사적인 포로 70년을 경험하고, 단 7-12장의 공동체를 위하여 새로운 신학적인 포로를 견딜 수 있도록 예언하고 있다. 이 연구는 역사비평적인 연구물들을 교회의 눈으로 읽을 수 있도록 도울 것이다.
______________________________________________________________________________ The Book of Daniel Reading from the View of Exile Theology ______________________________________________________________________________ Chong-Hun Pae, Ph. D. Assistant Professor, Department of Theology Presbyterian College and Theological Seminary The purpose of this article is to examine the results of historical-critical study of the Book of Daniel from the view of the canon. The historical study of the Book of Daniel reads the book for the community of the 2nd c. B. C., but is likely to regard Daniel 1-6 as artificial and having lost the message about eschatology for the Christian community today. In order to read the Book of Daniel from the view of the canon, we have to connect the subject of eschatology to the contexts of the historical situation in both the 6th century B. C. and the 2nd century B. C., moreover to that of the Christian community today. The unknown writer in the period of the Maccabees did not understand that period as the period of new revelation, but the period which Daniel"s prophecy is being fulfilled. To the community in 2nd century B. C, Daniel 1-6 is not the unnecessary literature, but indispensable literature for the authority of the revelation. By showing Daniel-figure obeying to the Torah, the Book of Daniel understands him as having the authority to prophesy for the community in the 2nd c. B. C. Daniel 1-6 focuses on the four kingdoms within historical 70 years, while Daniel 7-12 focuses on four kingdoms within theological 70 weeks. From the view of the canon, the Book of Daniel is composed of two parts: in the first part, Daniel experienced exile, obeyed to the Torah, and got the ability to interpret dreams; in the second part, the qualified Daniel made a prophecy for the community to endure theological exile in the 2nd century B. C. This study challenges the Old Testament scholarship based on the historical-critical method, and suggest how to read the Book of Daniel as the canon.
