Daniel (New American Commentary)

Rating:
Summary: Good refutation of critics' Maccabean authorship theory
Review: Dr. Stephen Miller of Midamerica Seminary is an expert on the languages used in the Book of Daniel and he is well read on the past commentaries on Daniel (both conservative and critical commentaries). He backs up his views with the latest archaeological findings available. His commentary surpasses the excellent commentary by Gleason Archer on Daniel in the Expositor's Bible Commentary series.

Summary: The must have commentary on Daniel
Review: Stephen R. Miller's commentary is the must have commentary on Daniel. Stephen Miller writes from a well informed conservative perspective (i.e. he is aware of the criticisms of scholars who attack the authenticity of Daniel and answers them point for point and then some). He deals well with the Hebrew and Aramaic, but the reader does not need to know them to read this commentary. Miller provides a detailed introduction. He holds to a premillennial point of view. Although the strength of the commentary is the scholarly exegesis, Miller also provides some insightful application. This is by far the best commentary on Daniel that I have seen (and tat is more that two dozen including Archer, Baldwin, Collins, Walvoord, Wood, and Young). Any student, pastor, layperson, or critic of Daniel has not done their homework if they have not read Miller's commentary.
