| Summary | "The Book of Daniel Unlocked" by W. S. Auchincloss is a theological analysis written in the early 20th century. This work explores and interprets the biblical Book of Daniel, focusing on its prophetic significance and historical context, particularly as it relates to the foundations of Christian belief. It aims to present a comprehensive understanding of the text, arguing for a divine foundation and the antiquity of its numerals and prophecies. The opening of the book sets a scholarly tone, with Auchincloss confidently asserting that his study is based on the conviction that the Book of Daniel is indeed the Word of God. He discusses key themes such as the significance of numerals in Hebrew tradition and emphasizes the sidereal year as the basis for all calculations. The introduction and preface describe not only the historical significance of Daniel's prophecies but also their relevance to the Jewish and early Christian contexts, hinting at the intersections of faith and prophecy that underpin the whole narrative. As Daniel and his companions are introduced, the reader gets a glimpse into their trials and faithfulness while in captivity, setting the stage for the deeper explorations of their visions and the overarching divine plan that unfolds throughout the text.
