• As another has observed, their faith and obedience were as absolute as the will of the king. (“Daniel 3” by E. Dennett)
• The limit of his {the Christian’s} obedience to kings is obedience to God in obeying them. The moment he is called upon to disobey God by yielding to a monarch’s demands, he must, if he would retain a good conscience towards God, refuse the demanded subjection, even at the cost of life. Such was the ground taken in this conflict between Nebuchadnezzar and these three subjects of his realm. (“Daniel 3” by E. Dennett)
