Overview
Andrew Reid reveals how the book of Daniel explains much about the person of Jesus and the nature of his work. Here we meet the Kingdom of God, the one like a Son of Man, the Saints of the Most High and the Abomination of Desolation.
- Provides questions at the end of each chapter aiming to help with personal reflection, family, or groups discussion
- Focuses on two periods of the book: the days in which Daniel and his friends were exiled in Babylon, and the reign of Antiochus
- Includes reflections of the implication of the book of Daniel and its central themes for the person and ministry of Jesus as an example as Christians in the twentieth century
