This is a print on demand book and is therefore non- returnable.

Series: International Theological Commentary

From start to finish, Robert A. Anderson's commentary depicts Daniel as an exemplar of loyalty to God, a faithful Jew in an alien culture. As such Daniel is a source of inspiration for those who find themselves in parallel circumstances -- beset by the disadvantages of their subservient position, faced with the threat of dire physical suffering and even death, and enticed to apostasy. Like Joseph in Egypt, however, Daniel does not withdraw from the world but participates in it. And through prayer, adherence to Torah, and trust in his God -- who is in fact the God of the world -- Daniel perseveres and is enabled to triumph over the world.
