About This Book
A learned introduction evaluates the work's historicity, language, unity, style, moral tone, and theological outlook. The author then offers a close commentary on the historical-narrative section, expounding exile-era episodes and courtroom-like scenes with attention to their moral and historical implications. The prophetic and apocalyptic portion is analysed in detail, treating symbolic visions such as the four beasts, the ram and he-goat, and the seventy weeks while engaging contemporary critical views. The volume closes with chronological tables, genealogical charts, an extensive authorities list, and a comprehensive bibliography.
