Hi Ron,


But, to answer your question, I think there is more than example of fictional first-person narrative in the biblical corpus: Daniel 4, and 7-12. But that may open another can of worms which I don't wish to open. I fear you may also disagree with me on that one, leaving us back at square one.

You are correct, I do not agree that Daniel is a late work (Maccabean
period, as some assert), nor that it has a fictional author. I believe
the author to be one Daniel, who was taken captive under Nebuchadnezzar,
served in the Babylonian court, and who continued to serve under the
Medo-Persians.


I think George meant to question whether Nebuchadrezzar authored chapter 4 or not.
