description
9Sir Robert Anderson's expert investigation and critique of the Biblical Book of Daniel remains an underappreciated classic since its appearance near the end of the 19th century.

This book was conceived as a reply to Frederic Farrar, Dean of Canterbury, who had published a critique of the Book of Daniel. Anderson had several points to contend; the chronological placement of the Book of Daniel - whether the text originated before or after the Seleucid prince Antiochus; whether the book was (as Farrar asserted) more of religious storybook than a serious work of prophecy; and whether the errors Farrar indicated were in fact serious mistakes or blunders of inaccuracy.

Anderson believed passionately that Christians have a rational basis for their beliefs, as these beliefs are a sensible response to the assumption of divine revelation. As a well-read and informed Christian, Anderson took issue with what he perceived as attacks upon the Book of Daniel and sought to soundly establish the links between Daniel's prophecy and the events of the New Testament Gospels.

As the second Assistant Commissioner at London's Scotland Yard, Sir Robert Anderson applied the investigative rigors of his profession toward the Bible and matters of faith. He published many books and papers in his lifetime, but would never gain the recognition and renown of Christian authors who were also employed within the priesthood and known in preaching circles. Despite this, Anderson's writings upon various topics of Christianity inspired many Christian authors who followed him.
