The book of Daniel showcases the tragic experience and memories of a unique people—Israel—but it also transcends its specific time and place. This collection of stories and visions can comment on the experience of anyone or any group that finds itself weighed down by suffering. Dr. Sharon Pace's superb analysis and commentary reveal that from the depths of despair comes a faith that refuses to abandon the belief that the universe operates according to God’s will—even though its unfolding cannot yet be seen. Daniel boldly declares, through the eyes of faith, that the suffering of the righteous matters, that God hears their voices, and that there is a divine plan for good.
