In this commentary, Tremper Longman III sheds light on Daniel's life as a counsellor to the great king Nebuchadnezzar. He clearly illustrates how Daniel's message - that God, not a human ruler, is ultimately in control - is particularly relevant in today's world of moral decline and political upheaval. Skilful interpretation is then made, and insightful application employed from the story of this courageous prophet.
Most Bible commentaries take us on a one-way trip from our world to the world of the Bible - they focus on the original meaning of the passage but don't discuss its contemporary application. The NIV Application Commentary Series shows readers how to bring an ancient message into a modern context. They explain not only what the Bible means but also how it can speak powerfully today.
"The NIV Application Commentary series promises to be of very great service to all who preach and teach the Word of God."?
