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?

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.
