Greetings With Love! Daniel is a book that consists of two primary literary forms- part of it is a narrative (chapters 1-6) and the other half is apocalyptic literature (chapters 7-12). As a result, this book poses its challenges! All apocalyptic literature is complex and requires serious study, and it is no coincidence that Christians continually have difficulty with getting "a little deeper" in books like Daniel. However, there are a few things that you can do to improve your study. One thing that you can do is to use a good Study Bible with a lot of notes and commentary and to utilize all the cross-references that are found that correspond to difficult verses. If you do not own a Study Bible, then you can find commentary on the book of Daniel on websites like http://www.blueletterbible.org or http://bible.crosswalk.com, or find a commentary on a nearby Bible bookstore that may help in your understanding. One Study Bible that I would recommend would be Zondervan's NASB or NIV Study Bible. Another thing that would help is to get in a Bible study group where the topic is the book of Daniel. You can talk to your pastor, start your own study group, or join one where you can study the book together with a group of friends which may help you a lot in your own understanding. In college, we took this approach with the books of Ezra and Nehemiah, and I was constantly amazed at how people would interpret verses or see other things in verses that I had not recognized before. But I was the Ministry Director, and I was always the one that led the study. But you don't always have to lead the study to learn! This Forum is a good example of that! :-) Everyone benefits from a good discussion that is based upon the Bible. I pray that this helps you in your study of Daniel, which is one of my favorites as well. Blessings to you, Nolan |
