The book of Daniel is outstanding in 2 ways. It contains clear revelation concerning some of the greatest themes of prophecy and at the same time has many inspiring and helpful lessons for the practical life of the Christian. A close study of this book, therefore, provides not only essential historical and prophetic truths but nourishing spiritual food as well. Dr. Luck begins with an important background study of the author, date, language, historical statements, purpose and outline of the book. He then gives a concise but thorough commentary. Convenient divisions make it easy to follow and understand the basic teachings of the book. Written primarily for the layman, this commentary is ideal for both group and individual study.
