SUBTITLE: A Commentary

A conservative, literal placement of the prophetic "Book of Daniel" in the Bible. Much effort is expended to defend a sixth century B.C. authorship of "Daniel." Walvoord, however, offers very few other insights, and the commentary does not live up to the promise of the title. Why would "Daniel" be the key to prophetic revelation and not any other book? Why not Deuteronomy 27 and 28? Granted, "Daniel" does influence the New Testament "Book of Revelation," but there is nearly no mention of this in the book. Also, some of the detailed discussions of the "seventy weeks" and other prophetic predictions are difficult to understand.

All in all, a good excuse to look at the "Book of Daniel", especially if you are conservative, but most other people will not be changed in life or thought. ( )
