Synopsis

A Commentary On The Book Of Daniel by Moses Stuart is a nineteenth-century scholarly introduction and commentary that treats Daniel as a historically grounded document. The Preface explains the author’s motivation and his historico-grammatical method, and notes aims to aid Hebrew and Chaldee learners while defending Daniel’s historicity against critical objections. The work is organized as a reader-friendly study of interpretation, sources, and the book’s religious-ethical purpose for the Jewish community, arguing that Daniel offers outlines and prophetic pictures rather than a full chronicle. Chapter I (Daniel 1:1–21) surveys the siege of Jerusalem, the education of youths in the Chaldee tongue, Daniel’s renaming, dietary abstention, divine favor, and the youths’ testing. Excursuses address alleged date errors, questions about the term Chaldees, and Daniel’s place among the Magi. Chapter II introduction covers Nebuchadnezzar’s dream and Daniel’s interpretation, with Daniel’s ascent in the Babylonian court. The Local Summaries (Daniel 10–12) present a continuous prophetic address, a celestial framework of empires, end-times expectations, and the defense of Daniel’s prophetic antiquity against neological arguments.
