Daniel's captivity in Babylon (1:1-21) -- The stone defeats the statue (2:1-49) -- Courageous exiles confront a king (3:1-30) -- The dream of the great tree : interplay of perspectives (4:1-37 (3:31-4:34 MT)) -- The handwriting on the wall (5:1-31) -- Daniel defeats the lions (6:1-28 (6:2-29 MT)) -- Daniel's vision of God's judgment (7:1-28) -- A comforting vision (8:1-27) -- Daniel's prayer (9:1-27) -- An eternal hope (10:1-12:13).
Summary: "The book of Daniel showcases the tragic experience and memories of a unique people Israel but it also transcends its specific time and place. This collection of stories and visions can comment on the experience of anyone or any group that finds itself weighed down by suffering. Dr. Sharon Pace's superb analysis and commentary reveal that from the depths of despair comes a faith that refuses to abandon the belief that the universe operates according to God's will even though its unfolding cannot yet be seen. Daniel boldly declares, through the eyes of faith, that the suffering of the righteous matters, that God hears their voices, and that there is a divine plan for good ... the primary goal of the Smyth & Helwys Bible Commentary series is to make available serious, credible biblical scholarship in an accessible and less intimidating format. A visual generation of believers deserves a commentary series that contains not only the all-important textual commentary on Scripture, but images, photographs, maps, works of fine art, and drawings that bring the text to life. Each volume of the Smyth & Helwys Bible Commentary series features a CD-ROM, which expands the uses and capabilities of the Commentary even more"--Publisher description
