Description
Daniel is a rich and complex story known for its apocalyptic style. Written in both Hebrew and Aramaic, it tells the tale of Daniel and three Jewish young men who are exiles among the remnant from Judea in Babylon in sixth century b.c.e.
The book ends with Daniel's visions and dreams about the Jewish community, offering comfort and encouragement as they endure persecution and hope for deliverance into God's kingdom. This commentary provides a fresh study of Daniel in its historical context, analyzing the book from both literary and theological perspectives.
