Iran and Christianity

Mark Bradley has been involved with the Iranian church for over 20 years and lectures in Church and Mission history.

"Mark Bradley dearly knows Iran and the Iranian people. Dealing honestly with the historical and political identity of Iran as well as the growth and suffering of the Iranian church, the book reads like a novel, I did not want to put it down. With so much mutual misunderstanding and mistrust between the United States and Iran, this is an important and timely book. It deserves a wide readership. I hope it dispels ignorance and helps diffuse tensions between Iran and the West. It should become a standard popular text on the development of Christianity in Iran." - Revd. Dr Stephen Sizer, author and senior pastor, Christ Church, Virginia Water, UK
