Goldingay is an erudite, and accomplished scholar and commentary writer (his 3 vols on Psalms is the only commentary on Psalms you will ever need). more

Very thoughtful and useful exegesis, sadly holds to a late date and speaks of "quasi-prophecy" but still much that is helpful. more
Tim Challies
Sinclair Ferguson’s volume is considering top-notch by many of the experts. more

Collins is an expert in apocalyptic literature, so his analysis of the apocalyptic sections along with the introduction is the strength of the commentary' (that does not suggest that the rest of the commentary isn't good). more

Tanner’s volume is the first major evangelical commentary on Daniel in nearly fifteen years (since Steinmann, 2008) and the first new commentary on the book from a dispensational perspective in over thirty-five years . more
