Daniel by Douglas Ingram
Each PBC volume divides the Bible text into sections that are covered in a series of two page reflections, with concluding prayer or point for reflection. An introductory section covers issues of authorship, background and so on, including a list of books for further study. Daniel is an enigmatic book which falls readily into two halves. The first six chapters are well-known stories relating to events in Daniel's life. The final six chapters contain apocalyptic visions with powerful imagery which Jesus himself frequently drew on. Historically set within the trauma of exile, today the book of Daniel continues to call God's people to remain faithful despite suffering and embrace the hope that God will work all things for good.
