Daniel: Lessons for Living in a Post-Christian Culture (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798385271757)

Taken captive as a young man and forced to work for a hostile empire, Daniel refused to compromise his faith--even at the risk of death. His unwavering example offers profound lessons for Christians today navigating living in a post-Christian West, where perceptions of Christianity have shifted from cultural respectability to widespread marginalization and ridicule. In recent years, Christians have faced job loss, social ostracism, and even legal consequences--including arrests--for living out their biblical convictions. This kind of treatment of Christians and disregard for Christianity would have been unimaginable just a few decades ago. This accessible commentary examines each chapter of Daniel, unpacking the text's meaning while drawing practical applications for contemporary readers. It robustly defends the book's authenticity as the work of the historical Jewish captive Daniel, who lived and wrote in sixthth-century Babylon--a view increasingly questioned even in evangelical circles. Drawing on insights from both church fathers and the latest academic scholarship, it encourages believers to stand firm with courage, integrity, and hope in an increasingly antagonistic culture.
