While the views here expressed are those of the individual authors, it is considered that the data collected, the subjects covered, and the new theories proposed are sufficiently important to warrant their presentation in a more permanent form. They present a challenge to commonly held views and it is hoped that they will contribute to the further understanding of some of the difficulties studied&#8230;.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Notes on Some Problems in the Book of Daniel was one of the first collections of articles that I placed on-line.
