Daniel Defoe

Daniel DeFoe (1660-1731) was a prolific English writer with over 500 works to his name, including his most famous, Robinson Crusoe (1719), Moll Flanders (1722) and Colonel Jack (1722). His resolute faith in God and his Savior, Jesus Christ, and the divine insight the Lord unfolded to him of the operations of good and evil in the history of the world and the society in which he lived, were the motivating factors behind the writing of this timeless work. Defoe�s Christianity aligned closely with the beliefs of the eminent Puritans and the brave reformers of Protestant Reformation, and he was a dissenter from the Church of England.
