REFLECTIONS ON DANIEL

The third week of December was dedicated to the Old Testament book of Daniel. We worked through the chapters focusing on the over-arching themes, the historical context, and some of the translation issues that make this such a personally-challenging text to study. On Thursday, we visited the parliament buildings in Winnipeg, as various government issues kept surfacing during our discussions. The students were given the assignment of responding to the central theme of Daniel, essentially answering the question of what this book speaks into their life and how they plan to respond to it.
