Here is an excellent and up-to-date commentary on Daniel that can be unreservedly commended. There is a good, though brief, introduction, in which especial attention is paid to the discussion of the literary affinities of Daniel.

The Book of Daniel is a deep look into Daniel, of the Bible. Each verse and each sentence is dissected to unveil great prophesies which are coming to fruition today. It cannot be over-emphasized how relevant this book is to our current generation. The book of Daniel covers everything from the sorry state of today's denominations, to corrupt governments whom will not be changed before the end of the world as we know it.

We truly are blessed and must give all glory to God for His generous gift of salvation, through His Son, Jesus Christ.
