Daniel in Babylon

“Mark Clark’s engaging work on the biblical book of Daniel involves an appealing combination of textual study, leadership and virtue analysis, mixed with some political philosophy. Clark provides an insightful abductive logical case for both the authenticity of Daniel’s life and biblical authorship. This work confirms the Bible’s ability to speak to all generations about critically relevant topics. Highly recommended.”

—Kenneth Samples, senior scholar, Reasons to Believe

“Dr. Mark T. Clark has delivered an extraordinary exploration in Daniel in Babylon. With unmatched care and scholarship, Dr. Clark investigates the life, trials, and triumphs of the prophet Daniel, uncovering profound connections between Daniel’s resilience in Babylon and the challenges of our modern age. His meticulous examination of scriptural texts and historical evidence reveals a powerful, convicting testimony to the reliability and depth of Daniel’s account, while his abductive reasoning method offers a fresh and convincing approach to understanding Daniel’s authenticity and prophetic role. Dr. Clark’s insightful analysis not only enriches our comprehension of the book of Daniel but also inspires a renewed commitment to faith and wisdom in our own political and cultural contexts. A remarkable work that will resonate deeply with scholars and seekers alike who wish to further understand the applications of God’s wisdom in modern times.”

“Dr. Mark Clark’s Daniel in Babylon is a timely and essential read for Christians seeking to live wisely, courageously, and winsomely for God’s kingdom purposes in increasingly hostile and spiritually desolate environments.”

—Christina G. Villegas, professor of political science, California State University, San Bernardino  

“Dr. Mark Clark brings decades of experience in the academy and in the area of national security to his study of what the book of Daniel can teach us about engaging in politics and with political leadership today (and through all time). Daniel in Babylon is a cogent analysis of an often-perplexing book that still provides relevant insights thousands of years after it was written.”
