Gathering Place
The Book of Daniel is more than the story of the lion’s den! This book of scripture describes the activities and visions of Daniel, an elite Jew exiled in Babylon. It is a book that is classified by biblical scholars as apocalyptic literature, which means dealing with the end times. It is a book that does outline future cosmic and political upheaval.
What does this book mean in the ancient context? What has it meant through the ages? Does Daniel apply to our world today in a time of great division and strife? Come join Pastor Jeff Ruby as he leads this class on both Wednesday evenings (including dinner) and Thursday mornings in the Gathering Place, beginning in September!
