Description:

Daniel is a key Old Testament book, which Christians read as a prophecy of the coming of Christ.This newest entry in the Conversations with Scripture series is designed for parish study or individual use,each volume presents cutting-edge scholarship in a conversational tone with questions for discussion and reflection at the end of each chapter

Synopsis:

Daniel was written during a time when God's people were struggling to discern how to remain faithful, even as their lives were dominated by the political and cultural forces of the empire. Daniel's central themes have remained relevant ever since: the challenge of remaining loyal to god despite the alternately seductive and threatening voices of imperial powers; the indispensability of humility before god; the perpetual problem of human arrogance and failure to recognize the overarching power of God; the insatiable and life-denying human thirst for power and control; and the call to find in God the source of just, joyful and abundant living.As people today try to make sense of a newly emerging global reality,Daniel continues to speak an important word about faithful living. Who truly controls our lives? To what or whom do we owe ultimate allegiance? To who do the kingdom, the power and the glory belong? This book invites readers to consider the questions that Daniel raises and then live out the answers.
