In what may be a first for Adventist publishing, Andrews University has released a small book containing only the biblical books of Daniel and Revelation, with study notes, in the form of a study journal, according to Andrea Luxton, president of Andrews University and chair of the Andrews University Press Board.
We used the first book (below) at college in the early eighties published by R&H, containing complete commentary on Daniel & Revelation, with notes by Ellen white. So what is so special about this new book? Have they made any changes in the interpretations of these prophetic books? (The red book is the present one by Andrews)

That is an excellent point I remember seeing these as well. I wonder if anyone knows Jeff Boyd, how to contact him to get a clarification.
I also remember this bookâŚbut donât recall that it was very useful for teachings or preaching.
It seems this latest printing is simply a reformat of the Andrews Study Bible placing the Daniel and Revelation parts into a journal type of setting. I donât see anything outside of that. The claim of it being the first ever, is perhaps a stretch.
I wonder if Luxton made the point that our traditional view of Daniel 2 doesnât fit the context. Here are SIX points that go against the Stone Kingdom being Christâs 2nd coming in the sky.
The Bible was written by and for civilizations long gone. Even then the forecasts werenât really successful.
Harry, I beg to differ and have heard a former atheist say he was converted to belief by Daniel which has proven accurate over the centuries when most people donât know if China or Russia or N Korea will attack us, etc.
As further proof, consider Danielâs ram and goat prophecy that historians say was fulfilled when Alexander conquered the Medes & Persians in 331 BC, but Gabriel said, âthe vision is at the time of the endâ Dan 8:17. The Medes & Persians are now Iraq & Iran, and God foresaw this 2500 years ago! Thank you for an engaging comment.
âŚand then there is my personal favorite:
The prophecies of Daniel and Revelation speak to us now, the content of the books amazingly overlooked by those who present them. The merchants of the earth and the kings of the earth who support the woman Babylon, also called that great city, obviously described by its wares that it markets globally, represents the free, untethered market, exploiting the planet for bottom line profit, polluting the environment at will, given free reign under the cry of freedom and liberty (void of governmental regulations), given tax break support, and upheld by the false prosperity gospel. The values of its gospel is that the rich are blessed of God and deserve those tax breaks. This libertarian concept creates chaos and destruction, building an accumulation of contamination that tesults in the climate plagues which bring down the entire system. Coral bleaching, the acidification of the ocean, and power given to the sun to scorch men with heat are just some of the examples of CO2 and methane release caused by human activity which in turn is affecting our climate patterns, with levels of CO2 reaching 417 ppm never before seen in recorded history. With an administration in place bent on establishing christian sharia in the courts with an attitude of defiance against the God of nature and science, how is it that Adventisits miss connecting the dots??
