"description":"The key to this passage, and its application, is the fact that Daniel \u201cresolved\u201d. Verwer focuses on God\u2019s providence, and Daniel\u2019s resolve, holiness and perseverance. The holiness must be presented in a culturally-contextualized way so as to properly demonstrate a clear message. \"Theological tidbits\" and extremism must be avoided to keep them out of the way of the message.",
