The brevity of this course means Pro. N.T. Wright produces a succinct and crystal clear view of the Book of Daniel without sidetracking into all the other wonderful or intriguing themes on which the book invokes interest. The rewarding thing is the equally clear and succinct conclusion Prof. Wright draws at the end of it in its meaningfulness to us in our time as God’s Kingdom People. So good!
