Understanding the Book of Daniel - Annotated
Understanding the Book of Daniel is based upon a series of lectures that Dr. H.A. Ironside delivered in the early 20th century. The original title was Lectures on Daniel the Prophet. These lectures were later transcribed for publication.
This is not a scanned copy. It has been re-typed in modern font. When speaking, Dr. Ironside assumed that his audience knew when he was quoting from scripture and where to find the scripture in the bible, therefore, much of what he quoted was not identified in the initial publication or any recreation of the publication since. You will find all scripture references as well as the full verse(s) supplied in Understanding the Book of Daniel. For this reason, you will not need to stop to look up the verse yourself. (All scripture references are from the King James Bible.)
In addition, footnotes have been supplied where there were none. Most of these are included to remind or inform you about the historical events or publications to which Dr. Ironside is referring.
Drawings, charts and timelines that were not included in Lectures on Daniel the Prophet have also been added.
Each chapter in this book corresponds with a chapter in the book of Daniel.
In the appendix, you will find a complete listing of books and pamphlets by Dr. Ironside.

Ironside presents a dispensational interpretation of Daniel. The antidotes are a little archaic, written more than seventy years ago.

In this series of lectures on the book of Daniel, Harry Ironside goes through each chapter of the book, explaining its historical setting and especially focussing on its prophetic application. The lectures were compiled in 1911, which explains why the book sometimes comes across as dated, as in Ironside's reference to a future last czar as the fulfillment of Gog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech and Tubal or his focus on the Ottoman Empire or Turkish sultan as the king of the south. But though men's applications can be dated, prophecy is not, and that Ironside makes very clear. I enjoyed the author's verse-by-verse exposition of Daniel 10's references to the Maccabean period. The book of Daniel is a very rewarding book to study, for it brings us to lift up our heads and see our redemption drawing nigh!

Lectures on the Prophet Daniel by H. A. Ironside, Loizeaux Brothers, 1920, 253 pages
This is not a commentary on the book of Daniel but rather, as the title suggests, a collection of lectures that go systematically through the book covering its major themes. This makes it much broader and easier to read. There is no attempt to explain the significance of each verse and almost no grappling with the grammar. I could imagine these lectures given verbatim to a church, especially a Sunday night or week-night crowd. All that being said, I found it immensely profitable to read this book through from beginning to end. Ironside was a proponent of the dispensational approach to interpretation and this comes out again and again. He is particularly good at showing the interrelationships between Daniel and other prophetic passages of scripture.

Lectures on Daniel the Prophet by H. A. Ironside is truly an unique approach to studying prophetic ‘end time’ events listed in the book of Daniel. Indeed, this author takes a courageous stand on the prophetic revelations listed in the book of Daniel and presents them in the form of lectures. Each aspect of Daniel’s prophecy is carefully explained and particular attention is given to the similar prophecy revealed in the book of Revelation. This book is truly an indispensable aid to enriching your knowledge of Bible prophecy and faith. This book is highly recommended for additional prophetic Bible study.

Devotional, practical, and Christ-centered, the Ironside Expository Commentary series offers insightful and practical comments that bring out the essential truths of God's Word. All volumes present the unabridged text in a newly typeset edition. A perfect resource for preaching and teaching from the English text of the Bible, these commentaries also provide the general reader with an excellent resource for personal study and spiritual growth.

The strength of Ironside's commentary is his evangelical focus, always seeing Christ and the gospel and always inviting men to trust in the saving blood of Jesus. The weakness is his Dispensationalism. He tends to see lots of things that are not actually there. But there are a lot of true and good interpretive points he makes too.
