OT366 Book Study: Daniel and Its Literary and Historical Contexts (Videos)
Overview
OT366 Book Study: Daniel and Its Literary and Historical Contexts introduces you to the content and structure of the book of Daniel, as well as its literary and historical contexts. Dr. Wendy Widder navigates the many interpretive issues and complexities of critical scholarship in Daniel and presents them in a fair, concise, and accessible way, providing much clarity to what can often be a mystifying book. You’ll learn how the original audience would have understood the book in light of the historical events of the time period in which it was written and see how its theological message—originally intended for the Israelites—is extended to believers today, providing hope amid the brokenness of life and highlighting God’s sovereign rule over His eternal and indestructible kingdom.

Dr. Wendy Widder contracts with Faithlife as a contributing editor for Logos Mobile Education, but has spent much of her career in the classroom.
