Summary:

September 11, 2001, saw the deadliest attack ever launched on American soil, and it has changed our lives forever. Thousands of American civilians were killed in a series of ruthless attacks planned and carried out by religious extremists.

The roots of the conflict that led to the terrorist action may be traced all the way back to the Old Testament. The Bible therefore sheds much light on the religious and political issues that underlie the current turmoil.

Meanwhile, our society is seeking spiritual answers with new earnestness. Why did God permit such a thing to happen? How can human beings be capable of such diabolical savagery in the name of religion? What is the right course of action for our government to take? Is retaliation, or even war, ever a righteous response?

The Bible offers answers for these and many other questions arising out of the recent atrocities. In this book, John MacArthur explores these biblical answers and, in doing so, provides a comprehensive resource for people seeking settled answers for an unsettling time.
