EXPLORING THE BOOK OF DANIEL by John Phillips. Published by
Kregel Publications, Grand Rapids ,
MI. 2004.
John Phillips has given us a delightful nontechnical
expository commentary of the key prophet of Daniel. It is very reader friendly,
ideal for preachers, Sunday school teachers, and laymen. He writes from a
preacher and teacher’s heart aimed at the ordinary believer. Daniel is just one
commentary in a set that includes a number of Old Testament books, and the
whole New Testament.
In this commentary your will find:
- A presentation of the prophet Daniel that is clear, practical, and concise. He has a gift that enables him to outline in a clear understandable way. (Outlining seems to be a gift and a valuable feature of his writings).
- His exposition is not a verse-by-verse presentation, as much as it is a section-by- section that teaches the basic content of Daniel in which the historical and the prophetic are weaved together in an understandable exposition of the book.
- His exposition is from a dispensational premillennial view, upholding the futurist view of the tribulation and millennium.
- It is a homiletical goldmine, practical with good illustrations of the truths contained in Daniel.
- He upholds the Divine inspiration and authoritative view of Daniel.
- He
includes a number of appendixes which deal with such things as Daniel’s
authorship; the testimony of Christ;
This commentary will delight you heart and inform your head.
It is an ideal, basic commentary for all.
