Jerome’s commentary on the Old Testament book of the prophet Daniel was written early in the fifth century. The occasion was proving the genuineness of this portion of Scripture against the false accusations of Porphyry, an heathen philosopher.I believe this is one of the best commentaries I ever read on this wonderful prophetic book. The fact that the interpretation of the Church of the V century perfectly aligns with today’s is quite an extraordinary witness to the consistency of the Christian doctrine in the centuries. In his unique, scholarly manner, Jerome defends the authority of the Scripture and the authenticity of biblical prophecies. This book is a must for those interested in the study of biblical eschatology. Dr. Gleason L. Archer taught at Trinity as professor of Old Testament and Semitics from 1965 to 1986 and as Professor Emeritus from 1989 to 1991. Thank you Dr. Archer for your work.
