Jerome’s Commentary on Daniel is in many ways one of the most interesting and significant of his expository works on the biblical prophets. Because of the wealth of factual information which he includes, the many details concerning obscure phases of ancient history, and the copious quotations from early authors whose works have long since perished, Jerome’s Daniel is a work frequently consulted by the learned even to this day. And yet, prior to Gleason L. Archer’s translation, this particular work of his has never been rendered in English, and thus made available to those Bible students who lack the patience or the training to examine it in the original Latin.
Now, you can study Jerome’s great commentary on Daniel, too. Archer bridges the interpretation and context of the early church fathers on Daniel with the assumptions and understandings of modern readers, giving readers a glimpse at some of the earliest Christian eschatological perspectives.
