Commentary on Daniel - Volume 1

About this book

The first volume of John Calvin's commentary on Daniel, drawn from his Geneva lectures and read here in Henry Beveridge's English translation. Calvin opens the prophet's visions and histories: Daniel and his companions at the court of Babylon, dreams of empires, and God's unseen rule over kings. His aim throughout is to strengthen believers to trust God's providence under hostile powers.
