How to Read Daniel

Orienting readers to a proper engagement with Daniel, Old Testament scholar and teacher Tremper Longman III examines the book's genre, structure, historical background, and major theological message before diving deeper into each of the stories and visions.

Praise for this book
"Daniel is a fascinating but complicated book-historically, theologically, and critically. Longman has the wonderful ability to distill information and summarize academic debates in a highly readable style. He has accomplished that service with other books in the series, and now he gifts us with this volume. A helpful and thoroughly practical introduction."
"Tremper Longman's How to Read Daniel is a fantastic read! He leads his reader thoughtfully through hungry lions, fiery furnaces, and monstrous beasts to show how Daniel reminds us that God is not only present but in control, even in the darkest places. This book provides a stirring reminder that God has the ultimate victory. He can care for us, even in toxic environments, and meets us in the midst of a troubled world as the ultimate victorious King."
"Tremper Longman III provides the ideal companion for reading the book of Daniel. He helps us understand the relationship between the cheering stories of the first half and the weird visions of the second half, by showing how both were intended to encourage God's people in the midst of suffering and persecution. He helps us avoid simplistic messages from the stories and fanciful messages from the visions. Balanced, informative, and readable, this is a great tool for any preacher or Bible study leader."
