Daniel of the Year

Since 1998, WORLD Magazine has selected a Daniel of the Year—a very different individual from Time magazine's typically power-grasping Man of the Year (now Person of the Year). Over the years we've had some well-known Daniels and some little-known ones, but in all cases their faith in God gave them the strength to stand up against tyrants who tried to put themselves in God's place. That's what made them Daniels: They exhibited bravery in defense of God's authority, not their own autonomy.

Change we can believe in: Since 1998 WORLD has selected a Daniel of the Year, one Christian from the millions around the world who have put their faith in God and gained the strength to stand up against ungodly trends. Particular years suggest particular Daniels, and this year, with victories for gay-rights groups at high tide and marriage being redefined, is no different. Read profile
