Daniel: Biblical prophet, lawyer and detective

In “”Daniel: Biblical Prophet, Lawyer, and Detective,”” David Mandel brings the prophet Daniel to life with a vivid and compelling voice. Daniel, a Jewish boy exiled to Babylon by the victorious army of Nebuchadnezzar, remains steadfastly loyal to his religious precepts and, thanks to his talents, rises to a high position in the government. His ability to interpret dreams makes him an invaluable counselor to the king. Utilizing his skills as a lawyer and detective, he successfully defends a young woman unjustly accused of adultery. Similar to Mandel’s other Bible-inspired works (“”The Autobiography of Moses,”” “”Job: A Contemporary Version,”” and “”Goliath’s Mother and Other Stories You Won’t Find in the Bible””), “”Daniel”” is written in Mandel’s characteristic entertaining and witty style. The book seamlessly blends the author’s humor and irony with his scholarly insights, resulting in a delightful read that remains true to the biblical account of Daniel. | ASIN : B0DB16Z84D | ISBN13 : 9798333902504.0 | ISBN-13 : 979-8333902504
