Daniel: A Discourse Analysis of the Hebrew Bible (Zondervan Exegetical Commentary On The Old Testament Series)

A really insightful commentary, with consistently insightful observations in terms of discourse analysis, informing not only the interpretation of the text, but also a wealth of theological and pastoral reflections that highlight the ongoing relevance of Daniel's theological message in the twenty-first century. While some readers will disagree with her late (second century BC) dating of the book's composition, they will certainly welcome her premise that the book "reflects real events that happened to a real Daniel in Babylonian exile, and that the prophecies recorded in the visions are accurate." For those who want a fresh but reliable reading of Daniel, this will be a very welcome addition.
