Daniel: The Story of God Bible Commentary by Janet Nygren, Tremper Longman III, Wendy L. Widder

Along with Enns on Exodus, one of the best NIVAC commentaries I've used. Again, was very helpful for preaching through Daniel, and was enjoyable to read.

This study was NOT my cup of tea. The book of Daniel is rather confusing. There was a lot of prophesying going on, empires changed radically, and several miracles were performed. I already knew this about the Book of Daniel, so I thought that this go-round, I would buy a study and see if it could take me more in depth and let me know what was going on in the world when this book was happening and give me practical applications of this scripture for life today. This is what the book description promised, but it did not deliver. My biggest problem was that in the middle of a study, the author would say, "Now look at these random passages from different books of the Bible. How do these passages apply to what is happening to Daniel now?". This seems normal, but to me it felt like someone was looking through a concordance at any passages of the Bible that had some of the same words as the verses in Daniel and threw it together and put a very badly tied bow on top. By the end of the study, I was just looking at the leader's notes and not even bothering to answer the questions myself. I just feel like this whole thing was very badly done and I did not walk away feeling any more enlightened on the book of Daniel than I did just reading it with my study Bible.
