In this episode of Help Me Teach the Bible, Nancy talks with David Helm, pastor of the Hyde Park Congregation of Holy Trinity Church  and chairman of  The Charles Simeon Trust. The book of Daniel is often mined for the stories in its first half while the apocalyptic visions of the second half are avoided. David is the author of a new book Daniel for You (The Good Book Company, 2015) and is also author of the acclaimed  Expositional Preaching: How We Speak God’s Word Today,  One to One Bible Reading, as well as The Big Picture Story Bible. Promising that we can teach the book of Daniel without charts, David provides great wisdom to teachers in this episode, including:Why teach the book of DanielUnderstanding Babylon throughout the Bible and in this bookThe thematic poetic line in DanielGetting to Christ in the fiery furnace sceneMaking the genre shift in the second part of DanielThe primary fulfillment of Daniel's prophecies in the death and resurrection of ChristHere are some additional resources that you may find helpful in preparing to teach Daniel:At Home in Babylon (Daniel 1–6) and Getting Home from Babylon (Daniel 7–12), sermon series from Holy Trinity ChurchTGC sermon resources on the book of DanielThe Proclamation Trust has numerous resources on Daniel by Sinclair Ferguson, Simon Manchester, and others.Jesus in the Lions’ Den?: Preaching Christ from Daniel (Matt Smethurst interviews Sidney Greidanus)For further study, here are some books you may find helpful, including titles from Crossway, the sponsor of Help Me Teach the Bible:Daniel for You by David HelmPreaching Christ from Daniel  by Sidney GreidanusThe Gospel According to Daniel: A Christ-Centered Approach  by Bryan ChapellDaniel: Reformed Expositional Commentary  by Iain M.
