I am looking for a commentary on Daniel that is:
1. Pastoral or Technical
2. Written from the Historic Premillennial position (Not dispensational or ammillennial)
3. And ideally, available in Logos.
4. Even more ideally, available individually. (Not stuck in a bundle like NICOT/NT)
This is not a thread for debate about eschatology. Resist the temptation! Focus people!
I wasn't about to point to you something that's not under contract yet but because you said Premill. all I could think of is
http://www.logos.com/product/10050/classic-commentaries-and-studies-on-daniel which Im sure would have some.Or maybe not...I might be think Pre-Trib. I get those mixed up.
A quick Google search reveals that I am not good at Google searching. I was unable to find a single commentary that fits your description.
I have put in a bid on the Classic Commentaries and Studies on Daniel, and am hopeful of the treasure trove therein. As far as I know, James Boice is a HP, so I may pick up his work on Daniel, but other than that, I'm at a loss. Was hoping that I was missing something!

I'm happy you put a bid in for that set...its been lagging. While this commentary adheres to premillennial dispensationalism it is very good: New American Commentary: Daniel
Joshua G:While this commentary adheres to premillennial dispensationalism it is very good: New American Commentary: Daniel
I've just read this one. It was clearly written and easy to follow compared to the other commentary that I was reading. It says what it has to say without getting bogged down in the arguments.
There are some places where the author's preconceptions seem to lead to the conclusions without really providing arguments that take me with him. A lot of the footnotes refer to secondary works rather than the original documents, and a few of them I couldn't track down exactly what he was referring to in a primary document. However, this makes for an easy-going commentary for the educated reader but without overwhelming detail. It can probably be classed as pastoral.

I have NAC, and you're right, it's a helpful commentary regardless of the hermeneutical approach.
See if you can get a hold Uriah's Smith book on Daniel.
Everything ever written or spoken in Religion, formatted for Logos Bible Software.
Lynden Williams: See if you can get a hold Uriah's Smith book on Daniel.
Thanks Lynden! Uriah Smith indeed wrote from the Historic/Covenant Premillennial position. I was able to find a pdf version of his work on Daniel and Revelation (which is found in (http://www.logos.com/product/16019/church-of-god-digital-library-collection-13). I doubt that I'll break down and buy the collection for this particular resource.
However, Smith's work 'Thoughts, Critical and Practical, on the Book of Daniel' is in http://www.logos.com/product/10050/classic-commentaries-and-studies-on-daniel. I'll wait for that one.
Any other recommendations?
Hey Devin!
When taking a break from doing your Literary Commentary on Ruth you could find out who from the MTS faculty teaches Dan-Rev and ask for a personal reference from his syllabus bibliography.

Take a look at these.
Andy Tucker: Lynden Williams: See if you can get a hold Uriah's Smith book on Daniel. Please be aware that all SDA commentaries on Daniel (including that of Mr. Smith) use the year 1844 as the foundation for interpreting the prophecy. All dates and numbers must point to 1844 in their eyes. Research investigative judgment, the sanctuary doctrine, the prophet, E.G.White, etc. Not reliable resources, in my view.
Whoa...I just did a quick search on Seventh Day Adventist eschatology. The idea that Jesus entered a second phase of His redemptive work on October 22, 1844 is unsettling to me. Good catch Andy.
Joshua G:Whoa...I just did a quick search on Seventh Day Adventist eschatology. The idea that Jesus entered a second phase of His redemptive work on October 22, 1844 is unsettling to me. Good catch Andy.
My Bible tells me that Christ completed his work of atonement On The Cross, He joined the Father on the throne at His ascension, And that the Judgment occurs after Christ's return.
Andy and Joshua, he asked for books on Daniel that approached it from a historical premillenium perspective. Unless I misunderstand what he wants, these books serve that purpose. Whether or not he agrees with some, all or little of what the authors wrote is up to him.
Diversity never hurt anyone. Most of the books in my library have some information that I do not agree with. By the way, my profile does say that I am a Seventh-day Adventist.
Not the place to discuss the Sanctuary, atonement, or date for the 2300 day prophecy. Logos is making a forum for such topics. When that is complete, then we can have Bible study. If you have burning questions that must be answered, go to the website and look up the documents section, there is plenty of material there.
Blessings in the Lord.
Resist the temptation to debate!
C Devin Chaulk: Resist the temptation to debate!
Noted. Thanks for the reminder.
Lynden Williams:Andy and Joshua, he asked for books on Daniel that approached it from a historical premillenium perspective.
Thanks for the help. Although I do not espouse to the same presuppositions as the SDA (I have my own presuppositions thank you very much ) I'm sure I will glean some helpful information nonetheless.
Any other evangelical recommendations?

Good call David! Hope God is blessing your studies this semester!
