The Abingdon Old Testament Commentaries series offers compact, critical commentaries on all the books of the Old Testament. In addition to providing fundamental information on and insights into Old Testament writings, these commentaries exemplify the tasks and procedures of careful, critical exegesis so as to assist students of the Old Testament in coming to an informed engagement of the biblical texts themselves. These commentaries are written with special attention to the needs and interests of theology students, but they will also be useful for students in upper-level college or university settings, as well as for pastors and other church leaders.

Each volume consists of four parts:
-- an introduction that addresses the key issues raised by the writing; the literary genre, structure, and character of the writing; the occasional and situational context of the writing, including its wider social and historical context; and the theological and ethical significance of the writing within these several contexts
-- a commentary on the text, organized by literary units, covering literary analysis, exegetical analysis, and theological and ethical analysis
-- an annotated bibliography
-- a brief subject index

Gowan takes full account of the most important current scholarship and secondary literature, while not attempting to engage in technical academic debate. The fundamental concern of this and every volume is analysis and discussion of the literary, sociohistorical, theological, and ethical dimensions of the biblical texts themselves. Each volume attends to issues of special concern to students of the Bible: literary genre, structure and character of the writing, occasion and situational context of the writing, wider social and historical context, the theological and ethical significance of the writing within these several contexts, and the like.

Daniel--one of the most misused books of the Bible--is read in this commentary as a powerful message concerning hope and responsibility for believers who, for various reasons, have to face the theological question, "Who's in charge here?" The book of Daniel insists that the God of Israel is in charge, in spite of what circumstances may indicate; then finds ways, through story and vision, to reassure the faithful that there is a future for them after all.

The commentary shows that what might be taken as just "Sunday school stories"--the lions' den and the fiery furnace--do raise issues from real life that have faced believers time and again across the centuries. It also helps readers to understand how to read Daniel's predictions of the future in a way that is most faithful to Scripture as a whole.

The author explores the widely disparate meanings that have been attributed to the visions in the book. He investigates four basic interpretations that form the basis of reading the Book of Daniel.

Makes Me Hungry for More!
Format: Kindle
I was listening to Mike Parsons teaching when Justin Paul Abraham‘s video keep showing up, intrique by his topics I listened and heard him mention his book Beyond Human, I was so drawn by his video teaching I decided to read this book and I couldnt put it down, he has a heart to believe the supernatural things mentioned in the bible can happen to us, I believe it too when I became born again in 1986, many things happened to me so supernaturally after being being again all because I believe all that bible have recorded, but not many around me believed them, they have the joy of being a believer thank you Holy Spirit, yet didnt connect the supernatural spiritual dimentions. i‘ve experienced quite a few myself and believed for more, I never knew there had been many people in the centuries past and even present days lived such close connection with God, Jusin mentioned so many of them with specific incidents of their deep connections and love with God that their lives simply demenstrated naturally supernatural with the creations, that just so resonate with my personal experiences, I was feeling quite lonely and out of place with believers around me and now I believer there are a greater community of such people way ahead of me. This book is worth the read, Justin has such a heart of honoring and believing in wisdoms and faith of many people who partner with God in manifesting His kingdom power om earth as it is in heaven. I thank you Justin for giving credit to the saints of old, I must repent for despising them when I have only heard people criticising everything Catholic were idolatry etc. but many of them have built incredible dedication of intimacy with God, I owe them and God my apolozies. I have been inspired he fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.

Unbridled joy!
Format: Paperback
I love Justin Paul Abraham. His writings and teachings have caused me to open my mind and imagination and have faith like a child. No religious pretense - if you are willing to learn and be open to real encounters with the Holy Spirit and learn who you are as a new creation in Christ, then by all means get this book! I just wish it didn’t fall apart before I finished reading it!!

It just gets better and better!
Format: Kindle
I like to read a book that takes no effort to read and that flows with the anointing. This is such a book. Each chapter has its own revelation and it is totally what I would love to read about. I am 45% through this book which is a lot further then I get with other books, even ones with great reviews. As a person who has seen in sprit, who has been to heaven, who has seen and interacted with angels, and seen and interacted with the Great Cloud of Witnesses, and written about these things, I find each chapter on these topics was very good and well supported with scriptures and stories. This is a very well written book. It is revelatory, insightful and well researched. Justin writes from personal experience much of the time and I get the idea that he is one remarkable person. I am very much looking forward to reading the rest of this book. I commend it to you Matthew Robert Payne Author of 18 books on Amazon

“HUMANITY IS AWAKENING.”
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
This book is so full of the wonders of God; bringing the Word of God to life in a way I dreamed had to be true. Each page takes my breath away and I have to set it down to take it in. I love the design of the book, too. It’s so easy to read; simple yet so profound, filled with the joy of heaven that is here, among us and within us, attainable now. Soo good. Thank you, Justin.
