Pretty disappointed that 8 and 9-12 were not covered. The course description should mention that. If you are new to the bible and have never read Daniel then this course might be for you.

By Matthew Miller on 10/26/2020

I love the clarity with which Professor Wright teaches. In this course, I especially appreciated the teaching on Daniel chapters 7 and 9. The course was put together in an easy to understand format that gets at the riches of the book as well as its importance to Jesus and the early Christians.

I continue to learn about our sovereign and holy God. And to grow in my faith.

By Michael Anderson on 9/22/2020

this was very thought provoking. I can see that Jesus is reigning now - I now have a clearer picture of inaugurated eschatology...

By Ralph Gustafson on 9/5/2020

Insightful. Engaging, Links the book of Daniel to the New Testament.

By Dave MacPhee on 9/4/2020

Some very insightful and compelling Bible teaching

By Hazel Stanley on 8/21/2020

Priced high at 65$, this course is just a 10 minute high level overview of chapters 1-7 and chapter 9. Chapters 8, 10, 11, 12 are not studied at all. very disappointing..

By Michael H. Olsson on 7/25/2020

I really enjoy Daniel and Prof. Wright.

By Maria Flodin on 7/24/2020

NT Wright has a way of capturing my interest but also making a book like Daniel, that atleast to me feels very daunting, just feel exciting.

By David Wilson on 7/20/2020

NT Wright is clear in his presentation and gives insight into the difficult portions of Daniel.

By Patti Patterson on 7/19/2020
