Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the complex relationship between personal duty and official business through the lens of historical examples and biblical teachings. The author delves into the tension between individual conscience and societal obligations, examining how these principles have played out in various contexts throughout history. The book draws parallels between the experiences of ancient figures, such as the early Christians and the martyrs of the Theban Legion, to contemporary events like the fugitive slave laws in the United States. Through these comparisons, it sheds light on the ongoing struggle between following one's moral compass and adhering to established authority. The author argues that personal duty should always take precedence over official business, particularly when the latter conflicts with fundamental principles of justice and human rights. The book emphasizes the importance of standing up for what is right, even in the face of adversity, and highlights the power of individuals to resist oppression. Ultimately, this book provides a timeless and thought-provoking examination of the moral dilemmas that individuals and societies face when confronted with conflicting obligations. It offers valuable insights into the nature of conscience, duty, and the pursuit of justice.
