The blurb:

'Book Four of God's Hand in History'

'Builders and Destroyers is the fourth in Mary wilson's series, God's Hand in History.  Though set between the years AD 300-700 the stories are a timeless factor - God's dealing with people and their response to His challenge.'

'The characters Mary wilson draws for us are no milk and water saints.  They were, as she points out, often stormy and intractable in their determination to uphold the principle that God is the soverign power in the world.  Resourceful, courageous and single minded, they did not oppose the rulers of their day over political or economic issues, but over the fact that there is one law for rulers and ruled alike - that public and private morality are one.'

'Latin Fathers, Celtic Wanderers, Kings and Emperors, Bishops and Barbarians, Conquerers and conquered, all take part in the struggle between the builders and destroyers at this formative period in world history.'
