Daniel (Reformed Expository Commentary Series)

I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to focus on God. The author explains the meaning of the text in its setting and times, brings out God's sovereignty over all things and His Purposes that nothing can thwart. The personal applications to all are also addressed, and how all this points to Christ. \\r\\nHe does not go down the path of pet prophetical theories, which is refreshing\\r\\nA very worthwhile read for anyone serious about understanding the Bible at any level. \\r\\n

As mentioned by numerous pastors and scholars who recommended this commentary, Duguid is part scholar and part pastor. His exegesis is sure and biblical, but it is combined with a healthy dose of application, and he does a wonderful job of highlighting the relevance of each passage for today. But what Duguid does relentlessly well is what all Old Testament scholars should do; he links the book of Daniel accurately and powerfully to Christ, and for this it is one of the first books you should read if you wish to study Daniel.
