Inhaltsangabe

The Book of Daniel speaks with enduring power to believers living in uncertain times. Set against the rise and fall of ancient empires, its narratives and visions reveal a God who rules over history, calls His people to faithful witness, judges human pride, and establishes a kingdom that will never pass away.

Daniel explores this remarkable biblical book from a broadly Reformed and evangelical perspective. Beginning with the historical and cultural world of Babylon and Persia, the study examines Daniel’s literary structure before working carefully through each of its twelve chapters.

Along the way, readers encounter Daniel and his companions facing the pressures of exile, Nebuchadnezzar’s troubling dreams, the fiery furnace, the writing on the wall, the lions’ den, the four beasts, the ram and the goat, the seventy weeks, and Daniel’s final visions of conflict, resurrection, judgement, and hope.

Difficult prophetic passages receive careful attention, with recognised differences of interpretation acknowledged rather than hidden. Historical evidence, Hebrew and Aramaic observations, theological reflection, and practical application work together to help readers understand both what Daniel meant in its original setting and why its message still matters.

Above all, Daniel directs the reader beyond human kingdoms and human courage to the sovereign God whose purposes stand firm, whose people are called to faithfulness, and whose everlasting kingdom will finally prevail.
