Introduction to the Study
In his first conquest of Jerusalem in 605 B.C. Nebuchadnezzar established Babylonian authority over Judah and sealed the deal by hauling a handful of prominent Jewish families and young men with him back to Babylon. These captives were thrust into a new and alien lifestyle that was intended to break down their religious and ethical convictions. They had to make a difficult choice: Would they hold to their faith and to a life of obedience to God, or would they flow into the new culture? It was a time of crisis for these young men, including Daniel — the object of our new study.
Most of us can recognize and relate to their dilemma. The culture which has grown up around us during the past few decades poses new challenges and threats to our Christian belief. Every week we are confronted in the university or on the job or in social situations with a lifestyle radically different from what is taught in the Bible. At each turn we have difficult decisions to make. Will we obey God regardless of the consequences, or will we become part of the surrounding culture?
Daniel gives us practical and personal help in our struggle. He was a man who rose to a position of great influence and prestige in the world system but who never compromised essential biblical principles. He shows us how to live a life of spiritual integrity in the crush of a secular world. Anyone who has been tempted to cave in to the world’s pressures can learn a lot from him.
Discussion guides are available from at no cost.
