SynopsisDaniel is a difficult book about the meaning of history, and people today need its message. Joyce Balwin claims that the church needs to be counting on the certainties proclaimed in Daniel--that God is constantly overruling and judging in the affairs of men., Daniel is a difficult book. But it is a book about the meaning of history, and people today need its message. Joyce Balwin, author of this Tyndale Old Testament Commentary (volume 21), writes When the church lets part of its message go by default people look elsewhere for a substitute...All the more reason, then, why the church needs to be counting on the certainties proclaimed by Daniel., Daniel is a difficult book. But it is a book about the meaning of history, and people today need its message. The whole church needs reassurance, especially in view of Marxist claims to be able by human effort to introduce a utopian world government. When the church lets part of its message go by default people look elsewhere for a substitute, writes Joyce Baldwin. All the more reason, then, why the church needs to be counting on the certainties proclaimed by Daniel, namely that God is contantly overruling and judging in the affairs of men, putting down the mighty from their seats, overthrowing unjust regimes and effectively bringing in His kingdom, which is to embrace all nations.
