The NIV Application Commentary (NIVAC) – Daniel

Forlagets omtale:
This is the first Old Testament volume in Zondervan's acclaimed commentary series. This book will help readers of one of the Bible's most fascinating and personal prophetic books make the leap from historical context to practical applications for modern living. Longman sheds light on Daniel's spellbinding, often apocalyptic imagery, and reveals principles that are as relevant today as they were in the days of the Babylonian captivity.

Most Bible commentaries take us on a one-way trip from the twentieth century to the first century. But they leave us there, assuming that we can somehow make the return journey on our own. In other words, they focus on the original meaning of the passage but don't discuss its contemporary application. The information they offer is valuable--but the job is only half done! The NIV Application Commentary Series helps us with both halves of the interpretive task. This new and unique series shows readers how to bring an ancient message into modern context. It explains not only what the Bible means but also how it can speak powerfully today.

This volume of the NIV Application Commentary Series helps readers learn how the message of Daniel can have the same powerful impact today that it did when it was first written.
