5.0 out of 5 stars Massive, authoritative, comprehensive Dec 17 2001
By Michael Baxter
Format:Hardcover
This book is massive, but justifies its size by giving a thorough and comprehensive survey of one of the strangest and most incomprehensible books of the Bible. It covers every aspect that would interest the diligent Bible scholar. Beginners will find it very tough going! Collins believes that Daniel himself had no hand in writing the book, but that it was the product of the age of the Maccabean struggle. However, he presents all the evidence and arguments fully, being fair to those of a more conservative viewpoint. What you will not find in this book is an attempt to show that Daniel was successfully predicting events in the 20th century or even further in the future.

5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive and balanced May 8 2006
By Jason M. Silverman - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
This is the most complete commentary on this book I've seen. Collins' discussion covers both the Hebrew and Old Greek texts of Daniel as well as the apocryphal additions. Even though the book is quite extensive, the manner in which it is written and organized makes it readibly understandable, even to those just being to look at the book or the attendant areas of apocalypticism or post-exilic Judaism. Collins approaches the text with a balanced historical-critical approach which fairly discusses views upheld by both more conservative and more liberal scholars than himself. Any discussion or study of the Book of Daniel which ignores this work will be seriously lacking.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Historical Approach to Biblical Books April 18 2009
By Brian T. Manns - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
This commentary on the book of Daniel is great. There are many excellent historical details and extensive footnotes. The author interacts well with secondary literature and gives good text criticism. There are many references to many different manuscripts. The author devoted 20 years to the study of Daniel and this commentary is the fruit of his labor. The layout of this commentary is also excellent and worth every penny. There is also comments on the apocryphal portions of Daniel. The only reason this commentary did not get five stars is it comes from a somewhat liberal approach but that is to be expected with the goals of a critical commentary. Overall this is a commentary that should be in the hands of every student of Daniel. For the less informed student, read with discernment.
