I thought Magna Carta was a secular ideology that bound the king of England to not being above the rule of law. How is that related to the second coming? Thanks for the review.

I'm not interested in this one, but I do appreciate that he's not just thrusting opinions on the reader. From what I've seen, the writing is structurally sound, and clearly a lot of research was done!

When I saw the title, I thought it was a memoir about the life of a certain Magna Carta. But from your review, I have an idea of what to expect if I decide to pick this book to read. Thank you for a honest review.

I feel secure in my religion and in my personal beliefs. Christians and historians may appreciate reading this book and taking a closer look at the Magna
Carta and what it represented in the past and for today. It seems to contain political and philosophical thought-provoking questions and food for thought.

Today's book appears to be a mix of politics and religion. It looks at the Magna Carta through the lens of Christianity. Congratulations on being chosen as Book of the Day!

Why always do some elements in society strive to change the laws of God? Magna Carta by Jude Meritus seems to answer all those questions that arise in a reader's mind concerning the faith of Christians.

Because I don't like reading about religion, I'm not so interested in the book. The only thing drawing my attention is my curiosity and how I agree with the line: "the world at large, recent events have seen the church deviating more and more from the fundamental and absolute truth of the Bible...." So I will give it a try...

:? It gave the people basic rights and abolished absolute monarchy for England. The Magna Carta provided and built the foundation for modern democracy with its premises the government guarantees basic rights for the people, established a basic rule of law and allowing a group to govern rather than an individual.

shows how the religious field is
silenced.

I read the sample, it's a little too heavy going for me. Thank you for your review, it confirmed what I expected from the book, and while it has a place on many readers bookshelves, it's not the right fit for mine.

It sounds like this book is more than ideal for any religious reader that is concerned with the state of organized religion these days.

At first I thought this is not a book for me but after reading the sample and review my mind have changed. It seems like the author touches some topics that I agree with. Revelation is a very interesting book in the Bible and I'm curious to see how the author interpret it. Thanks for a great review.

The book is centered on Christian beliefs while reflecting upon the loss of human freedom that was evident during the COVID lockdowns. An interesting novel indeed.

Yes, this book tackles what is sadly happening today. As a Christian, I also felt the dwindling of Christian values in the modern world. It is a good thing that this book ask the right questions. Thus is abook that will benefit a lot of people. Thanks for the review!
