John Phillips advises us that his commentary is not much concerned with either the endless wrangles of liberal writers or with their criticisms of the book of Daniel. They have brought up their heavy artillery against it because of the minuteness of the predictions embracing even special events in the distant future.

Here Phillips leaves what he considers these blind leaders of the blind to their unbelief. He invites his readers to turn instead to this great book, God-breathed by the Holy Spirit, this authentic and authoritative account of "Daniel the prophet" (as the Lord himself describes him) and hear his confident "Thus saith the Lord."

The John Phillips Commentary Series is designed to provide pastors, Sunday school teachers, and students of the Scripture with doctrinally sound interpretation that emphasizes the practical application of Bible truth. Working from the familiar King James Version, Dr. Phillips not only provides helpful commentary on the text, but also includes detailed outlines and numerous illustrations and quotations. Anyone wanting to explore the meaning of God's Word in greater depth - for personal spiritual growth or as a resource for preaching and teaching - will welcome the guidance and insights of this respected series.
