Daniel sets a commentator two hard tasks at once: the court narratives raise historical questions, and the visions raise interpretive ones. Paul R. House handles both in this volume, keeping the book's own structure in view and reading its two halves as a single work rather than as separate problems.

The Tyndale Old Testament Commentaries are concise by design, written to make the text clear without burying it, and they suit the reader who wants a reliable guide rather than an exhaustive one. House attends to the Hebrew and Aramaic where it matters and keeps the theology of the book in front of the reader. A replacement volume in the series.
