Transcription: Taken together, the biblical prophets offer not one but many models of how a person can serve both God and the state. On the one extreme stand men like Amos and Elijah who, as outsiders, railed against the evils of society. Others, such as Jeremiah and Nathan, gave occasional counsel to kings but kept a safe distance. Isaiah and Samuel, however, became official advisors of kings. In this book, the prophet Daniel shows that a person can keep pure even while working within a tyrannical regime.
