Daniel: A Pastoral and Contextual Commentary

The book of Daniel tells the true story and casts a vision of the only kingdom that will never be destroyed. This kingdom thread runs throughout both its beloved stories in the first half of the book and the often-baffling visions in the second half. The book of Daniel also takes seriously the reality that God’s people suffer. Even so, believers may take heart that the King of heaven rules over the kingdoms of earth and will ensure that his kingdom triumphs in the last days. The son of man will rule this kingdom and receive the worship of all nations. Thus, suffering and death are not our end, but instead resurrection, everlasting life, and glory. The Asia Bible Commentary Series equips Christian believers in Asia to read the Bible within their respective cultural contexts. Holistic in its approach to the text, each exposition of the biblical books combines exegesis and application. The goal is to strengthen the body of Christ in Asia by providing a pastoral and contextual exposition of every book of the Bible.
