Zusammenfassung: Aber die weise sind werdens verstehen. Wiederverwendung von Prophezeiungen, Chronotopos und Verschmelzung von Eschatologiehorizonten in Daniel 10-12 Zusammenfassung: Anhand von Michail Bachtins Theorie untersucht Felipe A. Masotti, wie alttestamentliche Prophezeiungen wiederverwendet werden, um Vorstellungen von göttlichem Eingreifen und dem Vergehen der Zeit zu gestalten. Er zeigt eine Mischung aus traditionellen und innovativen Elementen in Daniels eschatologischer Erzählung, die eine tiefe theologische Auseinandersetzung mit prophetischen Traditionen erkennen lässt Zusammenfassung: Using Mikhail Bakhtins theory, Felipe A. Masotti examines how ancient prophecies are reused to shape ideas about divine intervention and the passing of time. Masottis study reveals a blend of traditional and innovative elements in Daniels eschatological narrative, reflecting a deep theological engagement with prophetic traditions Zusammenfassung: Felipe A. Masotti demonstrates how the closely related phenomena of literary reuse of prophecies and time-space representation are employed in Daniel 10–12 to describe the ultimate end. Adopting Bakhtins chronotope concept, Masotti shows how prophetic texts from Numbers, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Habakkuk are strategically reused to build a narratological architecture emphasizing the eschatological expectancy of an impending divine intervention. This volume illustrates how Daniel 10–12 creates a tension between conservatism and innovation regarding older eschatological expectations. Consequently, it unveils how the chronotopical architecture of Daniel 10–12 grounds a theology of Gods sovereignty over classical prophetic time, and how the merging of eschatological horizons between its apocalyptic discourse and the reused prophecies is intentionally achieved through textual saturation.Survey of contentsTable of Contents: Chapter 1: Background to the StudyPART ONE: PROPHETIC REUSE IN DANIEL 10–12Chapter 2: Parallel Passages: Method and IndicatorsChapter 3: The Reuse of Ezekiel 1–3, 8–11 and Isaiah 6 in Daniel 10Chapter 4: The Reuse of Isaiah 7–12 and 28 in Daniel 11Chapter 5: The Reuse of Habakkuk 2, Numbers 24 and Ezekiel 7 In Daniel 11Chapter 6: The Reuse of Isaiah 52:13–53:12, Jeremiah 30, Isaiah 26 and Isaiah 66 in Daniel 11–12PART TWO: CHRONOTOPE AND DANIEL 10–12Chapter 7: Chronotope: Method and CriteriaChapter 8: Chronotope in Daniel 10:1–11:1Chapter 9: Chronotopical Function of Source Texts Shared Language with Daniel 10:1–11:1Chapter 10: Chronotope in Daniel 11:1–45Chapter 11: Chronotopical Function of Source Texts Shared Language with Daniel 11:1–45Chapter 12: Chronotope in Daniel 12:1–13Chapter 13: Chronotopical Function of Source Texts Shared Language with Daniel 12:1–13Chapter 14: Summary and Conclusions Zusammenfassung: Anhand von Michail Bachtins Theorie untersucht Felipe A.
