The Insanity of Empire
Sep 28, 2014 • Pastor Brian Zahnd
In chapter 4 of Daniel we find the story of the king who went crazy -- the emperor who went insane. King Nebuchadnezzar is the personification of empire and this subversive story is a prophetic critique of the insanity of empire. But it's only the exiles who possess a counter-script and thereby can live outside the dominant script who perceive the insanity of empire.
