Please suggest a few "layman' level" commentaries on Daniel. I would like to suggest one as a resource for a class.
Thanks!

Stuart Olyott's in the Welwyn series is very good and perfect for laymen. E.J. Young's is also very good but is a little more in-depth.

I agree with Paul. Olyott's Dare to Stand Alone: Daniel simply explained is a true gem! This is my Amazon review of it:
Olyott draws heavily on E.J. Young's Commentary on Daniel, and is also informed by the inimitable Robert Dick Wilson and his Studies in the Book of Daniel - just to give an idea of Stuart Olyott's orientations. Perhaps highest among Dare To Stand Alone's merits is its brevity (168 pages) while giving concise and profound exposition, a most satisfying experience. His approach is from the Reformed view, extremely important when dealing with the prophetic / apocalyptic sections (unpacked with great skill and insight), and the key passage in Daniel 9:24-27. A highly recommended top-notch commentary.

Ej Young is actually pretty good for both layman and scholar. I love it!

I tend to steer clear of Longman on the OT: Tremper Longman on the historicity of Adam
A response by James Anderson to Longman's theistic evolutionary view of Adam: Was Adam a real historical individual?
For a "layman level" class, Mark, I don't think you can do better than Olyott as suggested above, as his brevity doesn't sacrifice depth and precision. Young is Excellent, but for more advanced study.

Sinclair Ferguson's book "Mastering the Old Testament" Daniel is superb.

Ditto. This one and the Welwyn commentary were the best when I preached through Daniel a couple of years ago.
