The books of Ezekiel and Daniel are rich in imagery taken up afresh in the New Testament. Echoes of Ezekiel--with its words of doom and promises of hope, the vision of a new temple and its scroll-eating prophet--are especially apparent in the book of Revelation. Daniel is most notable in supplying terminology and imagery for Jesus of Nazareth's favored self-description as "Son of man," a phrase also found in Ezekiel and one which John the seer employs repeatedly in describing the exalted figure of his vision on the island of Patmos. The four beasts of Daniel find their counterparts in the lion... [Read More]
Many have heard, usually in childhood, about the lions refusing to make a meal of Daniel when he was thrown into their cage. Some know about the survival of his three companions in a “fi ery furnace”. A few are even familiar with the insanity of Nebuchadnezzar and his confinement in his own private zoo on a diet of grass, the drastic prelude to his conversion. But all these fascinating tales are in the first biographical half of the book of Daniel describing past events. It is in the intriguing autobiographical second half that future international happenings are described in astonis... [Read More]
A chapter-by-chapter, verse-by-verse practical and thorough commentary on the book of Daniel based on the Adventist viewpoint. "A wonderfully rich resource for the study of the book of Daniel. The author is faithful to his Adventist heritage while entering into gracious dialogue with interpreters who do not share his views. We owe him a real debt of gratitude for opening up fresh perspectives while preserving the historic Adventist understanding of the book that gave birth to the Advent movement." - Alden Thompson, professor Biblical Studies, Walla Walla University.

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 ... [Read More]

The book of Daniel is both familiar and unfamiliar to many Christians. The stories of the fiery furnace and Daniel in the lion’s den are the staples of children’s Bible storybooks and Sunday school classes. Yet the latter chapters of Daniel’s vision are more unfamiliar and daunting to most believers, who may have been exposed to a variety of end-times speculations constructed from an amalgam of these texts and others drawn from elsewhere in the Bible.But Iain M. Duguid reminds Christians that Daniel gives us more than moral lessons or a prophetic timetable. The whole of the book points u... [Read More]
This work completes Daniel Block's two-volume commentary on the book of Ezekiel. The result of twelve years of studying this difficult section of Scripture, this volume, like the one on chapters 1-24, provides an excellent discussion of the background of Ezekiel and offers a verse-by-verse exposition that makes clear the message of this obscure and often misunderstood prophet. Block also shows that Ezekiel's ancient wisdom and vision are still very much needed as we enter the twenty-first century.

With careful discourse analysis and interpretation of the Hebrew text, the authors trace the flow of argument in each Old Testament book, showing that how a biblical author says something is just as important as what they say. This volume was previously published in the Hearing the Message of Scripture series. Each volume offers a set of distinctive features, including: the main idea of the passage, its literary context...
