Which books are you referring to, Peter?  (-:

PK: How about all of the Hebrew and Greek Bible and the other Jewish 
writings e.g. 1 Enoch which you cite. Can you prove the date of any of 
them?

<snip>

If you can actually get over the hurdle and accept that the book of Daniel 
can be successfully dated,...

PK: You mean as the work of 6th century BCE Jew who served at the 
Babylonian and Persian courts? ;-)

.. But you might read the introduction to 1Enoch in Charlesworth's 
Pseudepigraphic collection.

PK: Which will no doubt tell me the consensus view, which is "no use". 
So I won't waste my time.
