Three young men stand in front of a king who has just told them exactly how he intends to kill them, and they answer him without flinching. Our God can save us, they say. But even if he does not, we will not serve your gods. That line is roughly two and a half thousand years old, and it has lost none of its force. Next month it will be spoken aloud from a stage in Tuart Hill. Redemptoris...
