Daniel: A Tale of Two Cities (Focus on the Bible)
Frenetic scholarly activity has raged over differing interpretations of the book of Daniel. Many liberal scholars claim that it is full of fanciful accounts, some that the prophecies were written after the events occurred. Bob Fyall deals with such questions in his introduction before he goes on to explain the text. He shows us why it was written and when it was written. Daniel is an excellent example of godly living and there is a theme throughout the book of Daniel that God reigns sovereignly and that he will use those who know him to do exploits in history. The book of Daniel is also a book that contains prophecy and visions. Some of the prophecies are remarkably detailed and are fulfilled in history, others concern the coming kingdom of the Messiah. Fyall provides guidelines for us to use in coming to a bibical understanding of God's plan for the world.

Endorsements (${ productEndorsements.length })
“Daniel by Robert Fyall, is the latest addition to the popular Focus on the Bible' series of commentaries. Robert Fyall is Old Testament lecturer at St John's College, Durham, and he deals here with questions of introduction and exegesis in a manner suitable both for personal and group study use. In the face of many liberal and destructive attitudes towards this great Old Testament book, Fyall highlights the example of godly living which it brings to our attention, and shows that all of history is subject to the sovereign control of God.”
