Wir befinden uns im Jahr 240. Ein Christ namens Africanus schreibt einen Brief an Origenes mit vielen Einwänden und Schlägen gegen gewisse Passagen und Bücher, von denen er meint, sie gehören gar nicht in die Heilige Schrift weil sie gefälscht seien. Anlass sind die Geschichten von "Susanna" und "Bel und Drache", die die Juden aus ihrer Schrift entfernten, die Christen aber noch im Buch Daniel haben. Origenes, der alle griechischen und hebräischen Texte jahrzehntelang Wort für Wort studierte und verglich, schreibt einen langen Antwortbrief, der uns einen tiefen Einblick in die Lehre und Praxis der Gemeinden Christi im dritten Jahrhundert gibt, wie sie mit der Frage umgingen, die bis heute viele Menschen irritiert und das Christentum spaltet. Wir stehen hier, 100 Jahre vor Entstehung der Römisch-Katholischen Kirche, am Beginn der Diskussion, ob die sogenannten Apokryphen zurecht von den Juden aus dem Alten Testament geworfen wurden oder ob sie nicht doch wahr und von Gott inspiriert sind. Der Brief von Origenes an Africanus ist die beste Anleitung, die wir von den frühen Christen zum Thema Apokryphen haben. Er sagt uns, was in all diesen Fällen zu tun ist.

Bible readers have always loved the book of Daniel, inspired by heroes like Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, who faced persecutions and strove to remain committed to God while held captive in a secular society. But when reading the Book's prophetic and apocalyptic sections, many people feel mystified and confused.In Daniel: Prophet to the Nations, John M. Oakes presents a balanced and objective attempt to unlock the prophetic message of Daniel, while placing the Book in its proper historical context. For the twenty-first century reader who is able to look back in time and see how countless specific prophecies have been realized, the validity of the message of Daniel is proven in a very convincing manner. The faith and deep convictions that can be gained from understanding the book of Daniel will help Christians apply the practical examples of righteous living (even in a godless culture) to their own individual lives.
