Questions for Further Study or Group Discussion:
1. Read Daniel 6:1- 28. How does this chapter compare with chapter 3? What’s the same? What’s different?
2. Why do the high officials seek “dirt” on Daniel? How do Jesus’ words in John 15:18-25 apply to Daniel’s situation?
3. Why is Darius unable to save Daniel? What does this teach Christians about our relationship with government officials?
4. What stands out about Daniel’s faithfulness? In what ways should we follow Daniel’s example?
5. Consider Darius’ declaration in verses 26-27. How is this a good summary of the book of Daniel? How shall we live in light of this theology?
