For more than four decades, Alan Stringfellow’s Bible studies have brought greater insight into God’s Word to thousands of believers. Now, the author of Through the Bible in One Year and Great Characters of the Bible leads readers on a 12-lesson, verse-by-verse study of the book of Daniel. Stringfellow’s in-depth teaching will bring clarity and understanding to one of the most misunderstood books in Scripture. With this study, readers will learn…

How to identify the major themes
How to memorize key verses
How to recognize God’s central message
An overview of various interpretations of the book’s imagery
The role Daniel’s prophesies play in the entire biblical story

By embarking on this journey, believers will discover the influence that Daniel had on the life and literature of the Jewish people throughout the biblical period and all the way to the writers of the New Testament, including Jesus Christ Himself, who often quoted from it. But nowhere is that influence seen as thoroughly as in the writings of the apostle John and parallels that exist with the book of Revelation. As in John’s prophetic work, the book of Daniel describes in beautiful and marvelous language the glorious coming of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Like John, Daniel was sure and certain about the final triumph of the kingdom of God.

My Thoughts

This was a very eye opening journey through the book of Daniel. Daniel is not a book that I have read a whole lot - just bits and pieces when re-looking at sermons. I really liked how it broke everything down. While reading through - I never realized that chapters 1-6 is the history - and chapters 7-12 are prophecy. I also never realized how Daniel can align with the book of Revelations. I felt like I was reading with a fresh pair of eyes.

There is a lot of information contained within the pages of this study. I have been a Christian for about 15 years - and I struggled with some of the verbage. However, that being said I also learned a lot. Dr. Stringfellow has studied the Bible thoroughly and knows the Author very well. There were some opinions where I may have differed from the author -but that is the beauty of God's word. We will all interpret it differently. I enjoyed the historical parts of this study. I loved the questions that the author asked throughout.

I will go back through this study at a slower pace - I love how every time I look at something God will show me new messages he wants me to see.
