Insights on the Book of Daniel: A Verse-by-Verse Study
For more than four decades, the Bible studies taught by Dr. Alan B. Stringfellow (1922–1993) brought greater insight into God’s Word to thousands of believers. Now, the author of Through the Bible in One Year and Great Characters of the Bible leads readers on a verse-by-verse study of the book of Daniel. Stringfellow’s in-depth teaching will bring clarity and understanding to one of the most misunderstood books in Scripture. With this study, readers will learn… • How to identify the major themes • How to memorize key verses • How to recognize God’s central message • An overview of various interpretations of the book’s imagery • The role Daniel’s prophecies play in the entire biblical story By embarking on this journey, believers will discover the influence that the book of Daniel had on the life and literature of the Jewish people throughout the biblical period and all the way to the writers of the New Testament, including Jesus Christ Himself, who often quoted from it. But nowhere is that influence seen as thoroughly as in the writings of the apostle John and parallels that exist with the book of Revelation. As in John’s prophetic work, the book of Daniel describes in beautiful and marvelous language the glorious coming of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Like John, Daniel was sure and certain about the final triumph of the kingdom of God.

This is an interesting exploration of the book of Daniel. Stringfellow makes some parallels to the book of Revelation I have not seen before. He also has a different take on the “times of the Gentiles,” a phrase that does not appear in Daniel but was used by Jesus. Stringfellow says the time began in 600 BC when Daniel was taken captive rather than in AD 70 when Jerusalem was destroyed. (544/2826)
I found it odd that Stringfellow says that the church and the dispensation of this age is never mentioned by Daniel or any Old Testament prophet. (1867/2826) What of the prophecies about Jesus? Certainly fulfillment of those prophecies took place in this dispensation age. And Stringfellow says Daniel “saw” the ten toes, toes Stringfellow says were fulfilled by the common market, in this dispensation. (Stringfellow has to believe prophets did not see this age so that the last of Daniel's seventy weeks can be moved beyond this church age of two thousand years to just before Christ returns, producing a gap in prophecy.) Stringfellow references Ephesians 3:1-6 to prove no Old Testament prophet saw this time. What the Ephesians section says was a mystery was that Gentiles would be heirs with Israel, not that this this dispensation, this age of grace was a mystery. Stringfellow says the church and Israel are two separate things (2262/2826) yet Paul tells us in Galatians 3:7 that those who have true faith (believers in Jesus Christ) are children of Abraham and are blessed along with Abraham (Gal. 3:9) Paul also argues there is neither Jew nor Gentile any longer. (Gal. 3:26,28) Many theologians disagree with Stringfellow on this entire concept.
Writers about prophecy sometimes make associations I don't think work at all. Stringfellow writes that the ten toes of the statue in Daniel 2 have been manifested and find their historical fulfillment in the form of the ten nations of the common market, for example. (622/2826) The common market became the EEC in 1973 and is now the EU with 27 members. Stringfellow's association may have been interesting in 1981 when Greece became the tenth member but lost its relevance when two more nations joined in 1986. Stringfellow died in 1993 and that might explain the correlation that is no longer accurate.
Another odd association is Stringfellow writing that the seven years Nebuchadnezzar was insane is a prophecy of the seven year tribulation. (1071/2826) I see absolutely no correlation between the two other than the seven years. I don't like to force a correlation when there is really nothing there to correlate.
I found Stringfellow to be confusing at times. For example, of Daniel 8:9-14, Stringfellow argues that the prophecy was fulfilled in the time of the Macabees. “So, we have a fulfillment of the prophecy,” he writes, “and it cannot be in the future except only in type and in shadow.” (2007/2826) Yet he says the “complete fulfillment” is in the future and Antiochus is only a type, a “faint type” of who is to come at the end of the times of the Gentiles. (2028 and 2052/2826) Stringfellow tries to convince readers the man of Daniel's vision in chapter 10 is the Lord Jesus (2427/2826) yet identifies the message he spoke as through an angel. (2531/2826) I also found it interesting Stringfellow says the tribulation is specifically for the Jewish people. (2646/2826)
Potential readers should be aware that Stringfellow promotes a pre-tribulation rapture, a view that is by no means accepted by all evangelical Christians. Historically, it is a rather new view. Christians did not believe it for nearly two thousand years.
This is an introductory study for readers unfamiliar with the book of Daniel. Stringfellow goes through the text generally paragraph by paragraph. Seasoned Christians who have studied Daniel before will find some new and interesting insights and historical information, such as the history of Babylon. As with any book about prophecy, readers should be ready to compare ideas with those of other theologians on the same subject.

A detailed exegesis, “Insights on the Book of Daniel” by the late Dr. Alan Stringfellow delves into the apocalyptic nature of Daniel and how it compares to and is irrevocably linked with the book of Revelation. There are a plethora of details, both historic and Biblical, to glean from this text, which I would advise prefacing with a complete reading of both Daniel and Revelation in the Bible itself. Doing so will provide the familiarity, whether new or refreshed, necessary to fully engage in this study and allow the reader to critically analyze Dr. Stringfellow’s interpretation. While I do not agree with all of his points or conclusions, I did learn new information about the history of the ancient world and about some of the connections between Scripture verses.
Most fascinating to me, and something that I never grow tired of learning about, is how Scripture is supernaturally interweaved, proving its divine authorship by God despite being written by multiple human men over the course of centuries. Stringfellow makes this very apparent in his comparison between the books of Daniel and Revelation. In regard to Daniel, the vision of the end times given to him in chapter twelve is sealed up, to be unsealed in Revelation. Both Daniel and John receive similar visions while in exile that reveal what will come to be during the end times, and both are “beloved” by the Lord.
In Stringfellow’s view, the times of the Gentiles refers to a period beginning with God’s appointment of Nebuchadnezzar, a Gentile, in place of the Israelite kings and ending when Israel becomes “the head of the nations” once again, while the fullness of the Gentiles, he claims, will occur when those Gentiles whom the Holy Spirit has called out will be gathered with the rest of the church in the Rapture. He remarks that Daniel was a unique prophet because rather than declaring the Word of God, he was to “record what was revealed to him through visions.” I also find the comparison of the similarities between Daniel and the lion’s den and Jesus’s resurrection very interesting, especially as they are both well-known events but not necessarily considered side-by-side.
Some of Stringfellow’s interpretation becomes clearly recognizable as an issue that has grown increasingly prevalent now: “To weld the power together in a common faith is the finest way to make them one, however diversified they may be otherwise.” He goes on to explain the system of Babylonialism, a way of living and ruling that eradicates God and seeks an (albeit impossible) paradise without Him. If that is not an apt description of society and the world today, I don’t know what is!
With an outline format, meaning plenty of lists and sub-lists, “Insights on the Book of Daniel” is an informative, enlightening read for those interested in apocalyptic literature of the Bible, or for anyone seeking a different perspective to provoke thought or discussion. Because this book is set up to be a Bible study, the end of each chapter contains a section for contemplation: “How Much Do You Remember?” questions; “Your Assignment for Next Week”; and “Lesson Notes” with blank lines ready to be filled. Because these can be difficult to work with on a tablet or computer, I personally would recommend the paperback should you choose to purchase it; as of the time of this writing, the price for both the Kindle and paperback formats are nearly the same.

For more than four decades, Alan Stringfellow’s Bible studies have brought greater insight into God’s Word to thousands of believers. Now, the author of Through the Bible in One Year and Great Characters of the Bible leads readers on a 12-lesson, verse-by-verse study of the book of Daniel. Stringfellow’s in-depth teaching will bring clarity and understanding to one of the most misunderstood books in Scripture. With this study, readers will learn…
How to identify the major themes
How to memorize key verses
How to recognize God’s central message
An overview of various interpretations of the book’s imagery
The role Daniel’s prophesies play in the entire biblical story
By embarking on this journey, believers will discover the influence that Daniel had on the life and literature of the Jewish people throughout the biblical period and all the way to the writers of the New Testament, including Jesus Christ Himself, who often quoted from it. But nowhere is that influence seen as thoroughly as in the writings of the apostle John and parallels that exist with the book of Revelation.

Like John, Daniel was sure and certain about the final triumph of the kingdom of God.
My Thoughts: This is a great study on the book of Daniel. It is well-written and easy to follow. In this day and time, it is a good idea to start looking into and studying prophecy. I know readers will find this an interesting study as I did.
This is a study that is broken down into lessons that are easy to do and easy to follow along in. It's not a long study and will not take much of your time each day, but it is an important study that all Christians should be looking into.

The Book of Daniel is full of history as well as prophecy. It is a insightful book to study as you study God’s Word. Sometimes a guide is helpful to keep focused as well as to glean the most information out of the book of the Bible as possible. Dr. Stringfellow’s verse by verse approach helps the reader read the Word then learn more information such as cross-references to compare. It is insightful to see how the Word of the Bible works together. The book of Daniel and Revelation parallel each other and Stringfellow helps the reader with the connections chapter by chapter for better understanding.
The book was very informative. Each chapter was outlined and thoroughly discussed. The book is intended as a study so there are review questions, sections for writing notes and responses, and well as an assignment for the next week. I would recommend a paperback since it is easier to respond within the book.
Personally, I enjoyed the scholarly approach and how deep the chapters were discussed. The books serve as a guide as you study the Word for yourself. The information given is noticeably clear that Stringfellow is trying to point the reader into further study of the Word rather than replace with man’s word. It was easy to understand and I was never overwhelmed by the information presented.
I highly recommend this guide to Daniel. I received a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions are my own and I was not required to leave a positive review.

"Insights on the Book of Daniel" by Dr. Alan B. Stringfellow is an introductory study. I have to be honest and tell you I have not read the entire book nor did I really do the study yet, I just read through it for this review. I intend to read and study this book more fully in the new year. I did like learning historical facts that I wasn't aware of. I did like the questions at the end of each chapter. I haven't studied Daniel or Revelation, which the author states foretells the same prophecies with a few differences. He also talks about how Joseph and Daniel both were dreamers.
The front of the book says it is for individual or a groups study but knowing me, and my lack of understanding prophecy, I think I will prefer studying with just one other person that really understand and knows prophecy and how to understand all the symbolic that is included.
I think when doing this study as with any study you need to be willing to learn and maybe even change your mind on how you understand and think about things and be willing to dig deep and really ask the Holy Spirit on what is truth or just the author's beliefs and thoughts.
Hoping I will be able to add more to this review in the coming year once I start the actual study.
I was given a complementary copy by the author and Celebrate Lit. and these are my own opinions.

I must confess that I was overwhelmed at the amount of information in this study. It is designed to be a study on the book of Daniel but boy was I feeling anxious 😟 about being overloaded with facts I wasn’t quite sure of. The easy solution for me was to look up the book of Daniel on my computer and read the entirety of it. I never just assume that what I am reading is factual when it comes to biblical studies. It it doesn’t line up with the Bible then I don’t accept it.
The author is very detailed in the book but I didn’t agree on some points he made. As with any Bible study, the author sometimes takes liberties and interprets scriptures to their belief or thinking. It can be confusing for new believers if they don’t know what exactly the scripture is really saying. I had to conclude that although the study is very in-depth I need to redo the study and spend more time with an open mind. We as Christians differ on certain subjects and have been taught different ways a scripture may be explained. I appreciate the author and his candid look at Daniel. He did have some good historical facts and I did like the questions at the end of each chapter.

This was a very eye opening journey through the book of Daniel. Daniel is not a book that I have read a whole lot - just bits and pieces when re-looking at sermons. I really liked how it broke everything down. While reading through - I never realized that chapters 1-6 is the history - and chapters 7-12 are prophecy. I also never realized how Daniel can align with the book of Revelations. I felt like I was reading with a fresh pair of eyes.
There is a lot of information contained within the pages of this study. I have been a Christian for about 15 years - and I struggled with some of the verbage. However, that being said I also learned a lot. Dr. Stringfellow has studied the Bible thoroughly and knows the Author very well. There were some opinions where I may have differed from the author -but that is the beauty of God's word. We will all interpret it differently. I enjoyed the historical parts of this study. I loved the questions that the author asked throughout.
I will go back through this study at a slower pace - I love how every time I look at something God will show me new messages he wants me to see.

This insightful book’s fourteen chapters give a thorough presentation of the twelve chapters of the Bible book of Daniel, along with connections to the book of Revelation and the prophecies both foretell. The explanation and examination of the biblical truths contained in these sometimes mysterious yet oh so powerful books make them accessible to the average reader but offers plenty of depth for a serious Bible student. I want to go through this again taking time to really examine the verses and contemplate the teaching. It would be great for individual or group study and discussion. I think the book would fit well on any preacher’s or Bible teacher’s shelf of resources, although I’m not sure I agree with all his conclusions about time and dispensations. The author definitely fulfills his purpose of providing a solid biblical foundation as well as teaching of the meaning and the significance of the book of Daniel.

Being able to study the Bible book by book is a huge privilege we shouldn’t take for granted. It’s something that not everyone gets to do. I try to make sure my kids understand our privilege to do so.
This book is a study of the book of Daniel. And let me tell you it is more thorough than any I have ever seen. It’s good for me to pick out bits and pieces to share with my kids and let them know that yes even adults are constantly learning new things!
I think this book would be a good one to do as a Sunday school class or church Bible study. It would also be a good one to have in the church library. I have voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received through Celebrate Lit. All views expressed are only my honest opinion. I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way. All opinions expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the FTC regulations.

As the title suggests, this book takes an in depth look at the Book of Daniel. It's quite clear that the author has done a lot of research and you can tell he is well read. This book looks verse by verse at the book of Daniel and explains/compares to give you what the author believes the verse to read.
This isn't a quick, speed through read but a study that you should take some time and actually pull out your Bible and see if you agree or disagree with the author. There are several points I agree with him, but several more that I do not. Overall, I think the author did a lot of research and put a lot of thought into the book.
It was a 3/5 for me.
Thank you to the author/publisher for the review copy of this book via Celebrate Lit. I received this book in exchange for an honest review and the opinions stated above are 100% mine.

Designed for either formal classroom study or for personal study at home, this book walks you through the book of Daniel verse by verse. It requires a commitment of roughly 2 to 3 hours per lesson. The book includes passages of Scripture, comments, questions to see how much you remember along with homework assignments.
I appreciated how it connected the book of Daniel with the book of Revelation, along with the prophecies included in both. Having studied the book of Daniel with one of our former pastors, I appreciated the content of this book.
So if you are looking for a study on the book of Daniel, check out this book for yourself.
I received a complimentary copy of this book, but this in no way influenced my review. All opinions are my own.

Insights on the Book of Daniel by Dr. Alan Stringfellow is an in-depth Bible study. Complicated biblical subject matter in the books of Daniel and Revelations are compared by the author. He also dissects the Book of Daniel. There are questions at the end of each chapter. This is the most complicated, in depth Bible study I have ever read. For someone who really wants an in depth, complex, serious Bible study, this book will fill that need. I learned a lot while reading this study. The author offers opinions on the intention and meaning of the Book of Daniel and related chapters. I would recommend this book for clergy and those that want an intense bible study.

This is a decent insight into the book of Daniel, but it really was not ‘verse by verse.’ It was more like normal kinds of studies where they pick and choose the lines. He uses the KJV for quotes, but that is OK, especially if you are doing your own reading in your version of choice.
This is not a true Bible study that asks a lot of questions. It is more stylized like a textbook where there is questions for Remembrance, and pages for taking notes. I used it alongside another Bible Study, and it worked well, but not quite sure if it would have held up without the other study, too.
