A thorough commentary on each passage of the book of Daniel
In summing up the kingdom theology of the Old Testament and setting the stage for much of Jesus's teaching in the New Testament, the book of Daniel contributes significantly to the message of the entire Bible. Consequently, studying Daniel is a relevant and encouraging experience for the people of God today.
Gregory Goswell explores Daniel's teachings and its connections to the rest of Scripture through passage-by-passage exploration and up-to-date commentary, including discussion of the following elements:
- The sovereignty of God
- The concepts later central to Jesus's ministry, such as resurrection and "son of man"
- The realities conveyed through fantastic visions
- The nature of wisdom and prayer
- The apocalyptic genre and Daniel's connection to Revelation
- The ethics of the kingdom of God
This commentary makes a significant contribution to the academic dialogue on the book of Daniel and to biblical theology. Part of the Kregel Exegetical Library, it is a robust tool for scholars and pastors, examining the themes of kingship, temple, faithfulness, eschatology, and more.
