Ignatius Catholic Study Bible: Daniel
The Ignatius Study Bible does not include the Bible texts. The print edition cites the RSVCE, available separately.
Overview
This volume in the Ignatius Catholic Study Bible series leads you through a penetrating study of the book of Daniel using the biblical text itself and the Church’s own guidelines for understanding the Bible. Ample notes accompany each page, providing fresh insights by renowned Bible teachers Scott Hahn and Curtis Mitch, as well as time-tested interpretations from the Fathers of the Church. They provide rich historical, cultural, geographical or theological information pertinent to the Old Testament book—information that bridges the distance between the biblical world and our own.
It also includes topical essays, word studies, and charts. The topical essays explore the major themes of Daniel, often relating them to the teachings of the Church. The word studies explain the background to important Bible terms, while the charts summarize crucial biblical information at a glance.

Top Highlights
“In the end, a modified form of the traditional view seems to satisfy the greatest amount of evidence and require the least amount of unsupported speculation. This is the position that the Book of Daniel had its origin in the sixth century b.c., that its testimony has links with the prophet Daniel himself, but that the canonical form of the book postdates the lifetime of Daniel. Still, the majority view maintains that the Book of Daniel is mainly a product of the second century b.c., even if the initial stories about Daniel in chapters 1–6 circulated as oral (or written) tradition before an unknown Jewish author worked them into the book we have today.” (Page 14)
“Daniel’s dream, which features four beasts from the sea, parallels Nebuchadnezzar’s dream, which surveys the four metals of a statue (2:31–35). Both represent a succession of Near Eastern empires that gives way to the messianic kingdom of God.” (Page 31)
“The long-standing position of Jewish and Christian tradition holds that the Book of Daniel was written by the prophet Daniel himself in the sixth century b.c.” (Page 13)
“Daniel is basically a book about heroism and history from the perspective of God and his Providence” (Page 15)
“a sphinx in Mesopotamian art; (2) the bear as Medo-Persia” (Page 31)
