Book of Daniel

What would you recommend as good reading material on Daniel?

Calvin. I don't agree with everything; he strays out of bounds occasionally (who doesn't?), but he is sooo good.

Thanks. I ordered both. Amazon was much cheaper than Reformation Heritage and CBD. Shipping was free too.

Harman in the Evangelical Press Study Bible Commentary series looks great, as does Sinclair Ferguson in the Mastering the Old Testament series. Longman is actually worth purchasing on Daniel as well. These are in addition to the many fine suggestions made already.

James Jordan

I have not seen it, but DeMar has James Jordan's new commentary on Daniel. It is quite massive, DeMar claims that he has left no stone unturned and has dealt with all views on a number of different passages.

I'll be able to evaluate this claim in a little while, as I have that commentary (starting next week, I'll be preaching on Daniel, and plan on preaching all the way through the book). Massive it is. However, I simply cannot trust a Federal Vision proponent in his treatment of the Bible.

I preached through Daniel this past fall-winter. Took about 4 months, maybe 15 sermons (going by memory now). I really enjoyed the study. Now I'm thinking of an outside-the-church Bible study, using that material. The Gospel according to Daniel.

I read Jordan's commentary The Handwriting On The Wall in February this year ... It was very useful!

R.J. Rushdoony's Thy Kingdom Come, this is useful because he examines many social and political themes in the text which other commentators miss.
