La historia de Daniel es acerca de una fe extraordinaria vivida en la cima del poder ejecutivo. El relato comienza con cuatro jóvenes amigos, nacidos en el pequeño estado de Judá hace veintiséis siglos atrás, pero capturados y llevados cautivos por Nabucodonosor, emperador de Babilonia. Daniel describe cómo ellos eventualmente llegaron a los niveles más altos de gobierno.

Daniel y sus amigos no mantuvieron su devoción a Dios en privado, sino que mantuvieron un testimonio destacado en una sociedad pluralista antagónica a la fe de ellos. Es por este motivo que su historia contiene un mensaje tan importante para nosotros hoy. La sociedad tolera la práctica del cristianismo en privado y en las iglesias, pero cada vez más desprecia el testimonio público.

Si Daniel y sus compatriotas vivieran con nosotros hoy estarían en la vanguardia del debate público. ¿Qué fue lo que dio a estos cuatro jóvenes fortaleza y convicción para estar preparados, a veces a gran riesgo, de nadar contra la corriente?

Daniel's story is one of extraordinary faith in God lived out at the pinnacle of executive power. It tells of four teenage friends, born in the tiny state of Judah around 500 BC, but captured by Nebuchadnezzar, emperor of Babylon. Daniel describes how they eventually rose to the top echelons 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. That is why their story has such a powerful message for us. Society tolerates the practice of Christianity in private and in church services, but it increasingly deprecates public witness.

If Daniel and his compatriots were with us today they would be in the vanguard of the public debate. What it was that gave that ancient foursome, Daniel and his three friends, the strength and conviction to be prepared, often at great risk, to swim against the flow?
