Summary: Precision and focus
Review: Anderson was an investigator and he tackles the prophecy of Daniel and the accumulation of evidence like a pro. When he wanted to know exactly when the moon would rise in a given year he wrote to the Astronomer Royal (who responded).
He writes in a somewhat flowery and formal style and there is very little devotional content. Although I'm sure he was a devout believer he is not setting out (in this case) to 'lift Christ up'. He was living in a time when higher and lower criticism were attacking the book of Daniel and he sets out to put forward a 'case' for the simple truth of scripture.
In his beliefs he appears similar to Arno C Gaebelien (who has done an excellent book on Daniel too).
Anderson settles for a 'traditional' pre-millenialist view of Daniel.
I don't think I would recommend this as a first commentary on Daniel or possibly even as a second. But for someone who has already gotten embroyled in all the controversy surrounding the book then this is an extremely scholarly work that HAS to be read, if only because you want to dis-agree with it!

Summary: A deep and clear biblical study
Review: I was amazed with the deep biblical knowledge I found in this book. As a commom man who likes to study I was enriched with the prophetic study and many other information about people, kings and dates mentioned in the Bible. I do recommend its reading to everyone who believes the Bible is the true word of God and wants to know more about prophecy.

Summary: No wonder he busted Jack the Ripper!
Review: Sir Robert Anderson, inspector of Scotland Yard, and careful Bible student not only busted The Ripper, but went on to investigate with painstaking care the Great Prophecy of Daniel's 70 hebdomads. With the care and precision of his Scotland Yard background, Anderson reviews the 69 weeks of the Great Prophecy, dots the yods and crosses the tittles (are there such things in Chaldee?) and brings us to a precision rendezvous with the planned (2nd) triumphal entry of the Lord Jesus Christ in the Gospel of Mark as the fulfilment of the 69 weeks.The great care he takes demonstrates that he was no clergyman, but a real Bible student. Ignore the man behind the curtain, D. Pentecost could never have done this work. This fellow may be second only to EW Bullinger as a recent and real Bible student.

Summary: A classic study of Daniel's prophecy of the 70 weeks
Review: Without a doubt this book is a welcome antidote to those who tear down and question the truth of holy Scripture through the lens of higher and lower criticism. This is the finest work on the prophecy of Daniel's 70 weeks extant (excepting maybe J. Dwight Pentecost's "Things to Come" which is much broader and borrows heavily here) and is a classic that must be studied prayerfully.-Kelly Whiting
