ebooks Waterloo (Battleground Napoleonic) by Andrew Uffindell; Michael Corum in History

Description

A wide-ranging discussion of the place of Christianity in the public square; Daniel's story is one of extraordinary faith in God lived out at the pinnacle of executive power. It tells of four young men; born in the tiny state of Judah around 500 b.c.; and captured by Nebuchadnezzar; emperor of Babylon. Daniel describes how they eventually rose to senior positions of administration. Daniel and his friends did not simply maintain their private devotion to God; they maintained a high-profile witness in a pluralistic society antagonistic to their faith. Their story carries a powerful message for us today. Society tolerates the practice of Christianity in private and in church services; but increasingly it deprecates public witness. If Daniel and his compatriots were with us today they would be in the vanguard of public debate. This is a lucid and erudite examination of the life of Daniel from a leading expert on faith and science. In his first biblical work; Dr. Lennox provides a unique perspective on both Western society and biblical exegesis that will make Against the Flow an instant classic encouraging Christians to speak out in our modern Babylon.
