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
