{"product_id":"daniels-spiel-jin-hee-han-9780761839132","title":"Daniel's Spiel: Apocalyptic Literacy in the Book of Daniel","description":"The hostile regime that set out to annihilate the Jewish religion and culture forms the background of the Book of Daniel. Jin Hee Han's book, \u003ci\u003eDaniel's Spiel: Apocalyptic Literacy in the Book of Daniel\u003c\/i\u003e, identifies the main agenda behind the creation of the book of Daniel, explaining how Daniel promotes an alternative discourse in opposition to the Hellenistic regime in the second century B.C.E. The word \"Spiel\" in the title refers to Daniel's strategy of using apocalyptic language to give the people hope, as he offered them a discourse of resistance meant to keep alive their anticipation of God's inevitable triumph over the evil regime that tormented them. Author Jin Hee Han provides modern readers with useful insights into why the Book of Daniel was created and offers clues of how it might be interpreted today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jin Hee Han\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0761839135\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780761839132\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press of America\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 134\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.47lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.55h x 6.00w x 0.42d","brand":"Jin Hee Han","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44058188841215,"sku":"9780761839132","price":47.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d84fc372-b459-421a-bfd1-a625ac97c1fd.jpg?v=1685051149","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/daniels-spiel-jin-hee-han-9780761839132","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
