In God and the Nations, Dr. Henry Morris invites you to see the hand of God behind the rise and fall of history's great nations. Discover from a biblical point of view why many of the world superpowers of our ancient civilizations fail to even exist today. Ascertain your nation's future with this powerful study of the history of God's relationship with individual nations throughout time.

Morris, an acclaimed Christian apologist, considers the Bible the most accurate source of geography and history. His comprehensive research of the origins, history and destiny of nations should inform the strategy of every nation's government. This compelling Bible study reference tool could ignite a widespread evangelistic revival and serve as the catalyst for the Church to fulfill God's Dominion and Mission Mandates.

Within this theological masterpiece, Morris uncovers:

God's purpose for the nations
Why God needed a chosen nation
The importance of the Jews and Gentiles in God's narrative of mankind
The spiritual patterns present as a nation emerges, declines, and disappears
God's future judgment of the nations

These biblical truths effectively point to the unmistakable sovereignty of the omnipotent God to whom "the nations are as a drop of a bucket" (Isaiah 40:15). From Genesis to Revelation, Morris successfully shows the proof behind God's great call to righteousness and the resulting healing for a nation living under God's authority in 2 Chronicles 7:14: "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."

About the Author:

A prolific and influential scholar known to believers and skeptics alike as "the father of modern creation science," Dr. Henry M. Morris truly was a man of science and a staunch man of God. He was even said to have set the terms of debate about evolution for the second half of the 20th century by one Pulitzer Prize-winning academician. Dr. Morris began his serious study of the Bible in the 1930s and authoring books in the 1940s, but it was his landmark work, co-authored with Dr. John Whitcomb, titled The Genesis Flood in 1961 that influenced generations to begin discovering the fallacies of evolution and the biblical truth of creation.

With over 60 books, founding and leading the Institute for Creation Research (ICR), Dr. Morris' death in 2006 was a profound loss to millions.

Dr. Morris created a thriving legacy that continues to equip many Christians to be able to defend the accuracy and authority of Scripture today. The new Henry Morris Study Bible and other resources that he developed remain essential sources of knowledge and understanding for believers.

Review:
