The theme of the book called Daniel is the sovereignty of God in all things. He is sovereign over the big things like international powers, and he is sovereign over small things like the apparently insignificant lives of [four Hebrew] teenagers. He is sovereign over history and is sovereign concerning the future. Our God is sovereign. - Daniel Akin in the Exalting Jesus in Daniel volume of the Christ-Centered Exposition Commentary.
Exalting Jesus in Daniel is part of the Christ-Centered Exposition Commentary series edited by David Platt, Daniel L. Akin, and Tony Merida. All volumes take a Christ-centered approach to expositing the books of the Bible. Instead of a verse-by-verse approach, the authors explain and apply key passages, teaching readers to see Christ in all aspects of Scripture.
Daniel L. Akin is the president of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Wake Forest, North Carolina. He holds a Ph.D. in Humanities from the University of Texas at Arlington and is the author or editor of numerous books and Bible commentaries including Theology for the Church and the New American Commentary on 1, 2, and 3 John.
