A Commentary on Daniel

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.

Gregory Goswell delves into Daniel’s teachings and connections to the rest of Scripture through passage-by-passage exploration and up-to-date commentary, including discussion of the

• sovereignty of God,
• concept later central to Jesus’s ministry, such as resurrection and “Son of Man,”
• realities conveyed through fantastic visions,
• nature of wisdom and prayer,
• apocalyptic genre and Daniel’s connection to Revelation, and
• 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.
