Beskrivning
This is a powerful and inspirational challenge to the Western Church to take the systematic, symbolic and comprehensive attacks on Christians of all denominations around the world seriously. That Christians are persecuted in various parts of the world is well-known. Less often documented are the violent, systematic attacks on churches and holy sites. Part of an historic process, places of Christian worship have been destroyed over the centuries, from the middle ages through the Armenian genocide and the assaults on Christians in the Middle East and Turkey through to the present day. This book focuses on the continuing attacks on Christian communities in many parts of the world today. Baroness Cox presents graphic photographs and survivors' accounts as testimony to widespread destruction, and provides powerful documentary evidence of contemporary persecution. This is a powerful challenge to the rest of the Church, and advocates of religious freedom, to take these attacks on Christians of all denominations seriously. She writes, 'no other belief tradition has suffered such sustained assaults - or been so silent about violence perpetrated against its own people.'Though painful, the contents combine to provide a moving celebration of the resilience of the human spirit and the Christian faith.

Recensioner i media

So often we take our hard won liberties and freedoms for granted. All too easily we can overlook the suffering of those who enjoy none of our privileges. With years of first hand knowledge and experience to guide them, Baroness Cox and Ben Rogers tell the story of those who suffer for their faith and encourage us to be a voice for voiceless people. This is a book which everyone should read.
