Daniel I (Chapters 1-6)

Description of T.h.l. Parker, author of Daniel I:

Calvin began his lectures on Daniel on 12th June 1559 and completed them in early April 1560. In his 14th September 1561 dedication "to all sincere worshippers of God who desire the kingdom of Christ to be rightly constituted in France", he compared the situation of Daniel and his companions with that of the persecuted saints in France. Whether or not he undertook to lecture on Daniel with their plight in mind, he saw the opportunity afforded him by the publication of these lectures as providential, enabling him to illustrate to them how God proves the faith of his people by various trials.
