Redditt brings a refreshing social and cultural perspective to the book of Daniel. He sees the stories (chs. 1-6) as the product of a diaspora group who, on their relocation to Jerusalem, found their ideas and expectations transformed. Daniel 7-12 emerges as an attempt to read the past and future fo the same group, while the whole book denies unqualified allegiance to any human government. This volume marks the revival of the 'New Century Bible', one of the most popular commentary series for scholars, students and pastors.
