Daniel Commentary Recommendations

C Devin Chaulk

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! Wink

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

I just finished a study of Daniel and I used the several that are avalible in Logos.

Daniel: An Expository Commentary by H. A. Ironside

Daniel: The Key to Prophetic Revelation by John F. Walvoord

The Footsteps of the Messiah: A Study of the Sequence of Prophetic Events by Arnold G. Fruchtenbaum

The Prophecy Knowledge Handbook by John F. Walvoord

The Footsteps of the Messiah: A Study of the Sequence of Prophetic Events by Arnold G. Fruchtenbaum

Arnold Fruchtenbaum has some good stuff. I noticed that he also has a detailed paper on the Seventy Seven's of Daniel in his Logo's "Messianic Bible Study Collection".

Ernest Lucas' commentary on Daniel was great!

"This series seeks to do the same (ably apply understanding of past events to contemporary society), keeping one foot firmly planted in the universe of the original text and the other in that of the target audience, which consists of preachers, teachers and students of the Bible."

Great format for what your searching for.

Agreed about Walvoord.

He would be considered a "praeterist/futurist", meaning, premillenial with a twist of symbolisms thrown in for good measure.

Ironside is good as well.
