In the debut episode of “Understanding Daniel,” Peter, the Adult Ministries Director of Browncroft Community Church, welcomes renowned Old Testament scholar Dr. Tremper Longman.
The conversation outlines Daniel’s historical setting from the Babylonian exile to the Persian period, explaining how its six court‑court stories and four apocalyptic visions address a people living under foreign oppression. Dr. Longman demonstrates how the book’s ancient Near Eastern symbols point to a larger biblical theme: God as the ultimate Warrior who defeats evil. This theme bridges Daniel to Revelation and the New Testament.
Listeners receive practical advice for personal or small‑group study, including recommended study Bibles and commentaries, and a reminder to recognize the book’s genre before interpreting its imagery. The central takeaway is clear: despite today’s “evil times,” Daniel’s timeless message urges believers to stay faithful, trust God’s control, and find hope.
