BST Message of Daniel

"...Dale Ralph Davis' new 176 page paperback, The Message of Daniel is a unique treatment of this Old Testament prophet that is devotional, homiletical, textual and thoughtful. This is part of The Bible Speaks Today series, and replaces the classic piece by Ronald Wallace. Davis takes the position that Daniel was written by whom it claims to be written, during the period of time it claims to have been written; but he doesn't spill gallons of ink on laying out all the pros and cons. After the brief, concentrated analysis in the introduction, most of the reasoning arises in short, thoughtful, and sometime humorous, footnotes throughout the work. Even if the reader disagrees, he will gain a new appreciation for the reasonableness of accepting Daniel as an original work written by a real, historical person (Daniel himself) during the actual time it maintains it was written (During the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Cyrus and Darius).
