About the Book

Book: Insights on the Book of Daniel

Author: Dr. Alan B. Stringfellow

Genre: RELIGION / Biblical Studies/Old Testament/Prophet

Release Date: December 1, 2020

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 REVIEW 

I must confess that I was overwhelmed at the amount of information in this study. It is designed to be a study on the book of Daniel but boy was I feeling anxious 😟 about being overloaded with facts I wasn’t quite sure of. The easy solution for me was to look up the book of Daniel on my computer and read the entirety of it.  I never just assume that what I am reading is factual when it comes to biblical studies. It it doesn’t line up with the Bible then I don’t accept it. 

The author is very detailed in the book but I didn’t agree on some points he made. As with any Bible study, the author sometimes  takes  liberties and interprets scriptures to their belief or thinking. It can be confusing for new believers if they don’t know what exactly the scripture is really saying. I had to conclude that although the study is very in-depth I  need to redo the study and spend more time with an open mind. We as Christians differ on certain subjects and have been taught different ways a scripture may be explained. I appreciate the author and his candid look at Daniel. He did have some good historical facts and I did like the questions at the end of each chapter. 

I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion.
