In many corners of the world these days the climate of hostility
hangs over any overt Christian faith commitment. Any kind of
Christian commitment is now assumed to imply intolerance and often
prompts reactions that range from a low-grade hostility and
exclusion in the West to the vicious and murderous assaults on
Christian believers in Pakistan, Nigeria, Kenya, Egypt, Syria and
Iraq and elsewhere. Such issues are not new. Christians have faced
them ever since Nero's lions, and even before that. Jews also have
faced the same questions all through their history, most tragically
sometimes enduring horrendous persecution from states claiming to
be Christian. So it is not surprising that the Bible gives a lot of
attention to these questions. The book of Daniel tackles the
problem head on, both in the stories of Daniel and his friends, and
in the visions he received. A major theme of the book is how people
who worship the one, true, living God-the God of Israel-can live
and work and survive in the midst of a nation, a culture, and a
government that are hostile and sometimes life-threatening. What
does it mean to live as believers in the midst of a non-Christian
state and culture? How can we live "in the world" and yet not let
the world own us and squeeze us into the shape of its own fallen
values and assumptions? The book was written to encourage believers
to keep in mind that the future, no matter how terrifying it may
eventually become, rests in the hands of the sovereign Lord God-and
in that assurance to get on with the challenging task of living in
God's world for the sake of God's mission.
