Tabernacle Church Penarth

This series of Small Group studies follows on from “Songs in a strange land: part 1” which looked at the first 6 chapters of the book of Daniel.  The  book of Daniel itself is divided into two parts.  The first part was written in Aramaic (sometime called Chaldean in the ancient world) and is made up primarily of historical narrative.  The second half of the book of Daniel is less well known by most Christians (the lion’s den, the fiery furnace and the writing on the wall make much better Sunday school lessons!)  As well as being less well known, it is more difficult to understand.  Written in Hebrew this second part of the book is made up of apocalyptic/revelatory material, and it is this section that we will be looking at in our small groups over the next few weeks.  Some of these studies have a lot of questions to get your discussion started.  Do not expect to always be able to answer all of them in one session!  Feel free to pick and choose some of the questions, or extend a study over 2 weeks if necessary.
