The book of Daniel tells the true story and casts a vision of the only kingdom that will never be destroyed. This kingdom thread runs throughout both its beloved stories in the first half of the book and the often-baffling visions in the second half. The book of Daniel also takes seriously the reality that God's people suffer. Even so, believers may take heart that the King of heaven rules over the kingdoms of earth and will ensure that his kingdom triumphs in the last days. The son of man will rule this kingdom and receive the worship of all nations. Thus, suffering and death are not our end, but instead resurrection, everlasting life, and glory.

The Asia Bible Commentary Series equips Christian believers in Asia to read the Bible within their respective cultural contexts. Holistic in its approach to the text, each exposition of the biblical books combines exegesis and application. The goal is to strengthen the body of Christ in Asia by providing a pastoral and contextual exposition of every book of the Bible.

Reviews for Daniel: A Pastoral and Contextual Commentary

This is a timely, well-researched volume that advances Christian biblical scholarship and ministry at a time of global instability and unrest. Dr. Kevin Chen is sensitive to the lexical intricacies of the text, intertexts, and how the book of Daniel is coherent within the larger context of the Old and New Testaments - a worthy and significant addition to the Asia Bible Commentary Series! Peter C. W. Ho Academic Dean and Associate Professor of Old Testament, School of Theology, English, Singapore Bible College Kevin S. Chen's commentary on Daniel as a part of the Asia Bible Commentary Series is outstanding. The commentary itself not only moves through the overall content of the chapter but also makes constant reference to parallels in Daniel, the rest of the Old Testament, and at times, the New Testament, and draws out important points of application. Jordan M. Scheetz Professor of Biblical Studies, Western Seminary, Oregon, USA In this refreshing commentary you'll realize that Daniel and his friends met with the real-world experiences of many who have been forced from their homeland. Any believer who uses this commentary will find modern, real world experience and application when teaching and preaching the text of Daniel. Mario M. C. Melendez Auguie Henry Chair of Bible, Assistant Professor of Old Testament and Biblical Studies, Oklahoma Baptist University, USA
