This class provides a basic overview of the exegesis and interpretation of
the whole Book of Daniel, with emphasis on selected portions of the book which
have been featured in Seventh-day Adventist study.
The course objectives are for the student
to:
1) gain clear, practical “how to” skills for drawing out the intention of the
text of Daniel;
2) have a clearer understanding of the exegetical support in the text for
significant points of Adventist teaching; and
3) obtain a deeper appreciation of the personal
struggle and disciplined effort required to rightly hear the text of a complex
book like Daniel.
