Edward Young's purpose in this commentary is to give the minister and serious reader an accurate sense of the text. For Young, the key issues in the interpretation of Daniel lay not in the tension between unintelligent obscurantism and scientific scholarship, but in the difference between a believing scholarship and a sceptical rationalism. Young therefore suggests that faith in Scripture is the prerequisite for understanding them. Edward Young was an excellent language scholar and Professor of Old Testament at Westminster Seminary.
