Bible Book Club Thursday 8 January 2026 10.30- 12.00

The next book of the Bible we are going to explore is Daniel. We are going to do this in two parts why not come and join us? Like a Book Club you need to read chapters 1-6 before 8 January. This should take you about 45 minutes.

Daniel is a book of two halves. The first six chapters contain stories about ‘Daniel’, an exile in a high position in the Babylonian court, and what he did to survive as a Jew in that potentially hostile environment. The final six chapters contain a series of visions about the future and God’s intervention into that future. To add to the complexity of the book, it is written in two different languages: 2.4—7.28 are in Aramaic, whereas 1.1—2.3 and 8.1—12.13 are in Hebrew.

We will start with coffee, tea before, exploring the author, the context and what it means to us today as we chat about it.

All are welcome to join us. Venue is at a private house – please contact revdjulie@urcnorthcotswolds.org.uk for information.
