Daniel: Faith Enduring through Adversity, A 13-Lesson Study (Reformed Expository Bible Studies | REBS)
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
The fiery furnace. The lions’ den. We all know the stories. But the book of Daniel, with its high moral standard and bewildering prophecies, is daunting nonetheless. Dare to be a Daniel? How could we even begin? Yet one greater than Daniel has perfectly lived a life of exile on our behalf.
This Reformed Expository Bible Study is designed for personal and group use. Each lesson connects to the rest of the Bible and holds to the same standards as the Reformed Expository Commentary series: a high view of Scripture; a Christ-centered focus; a Reformed theological basis; and an emphasis on personal application and prayer.

Top Highlights
“The book’s main purpose is to encourage believers to live as strangers and exiles in a world that is not their home and never will be (cf. 1 Peter 2:11), while at the same time seeking the shalom (well-being) of the city, town, or village in which God has providentially placed them (cf. Jer. 29:7).” (Page 9)
