What is the reason why the so-called great people in history turned into persecutors when they gained power over people and why were they often persecuted, if they were looking for new ways of thinking, as artists, writers, painters, composers and founders of religions? Why have the great people in world history caused so much harm? Where is the problem? How can it be solved? These questions I want to answer in this book. The book wants to arrange easy readable fundamental history-knowledge, confirm this knowledge with quotations, show connections and come to conclusions. The whole misery of world history is actually due to the fact, that those who have decisively shaped this history, the rulers, dictators, ideologists and also the founders of religions, had not been great enough to do something truely good, i.e. they had not been great enough that one could come to them, that one would have wanted to have them. They do not appear liberating but rather oppressive. You had to have them ... and that's where the problem starts!

Be Inspired by Amazing Eyewitness Stories of Hope and Courage from the Persecuted Church We are witnessing an astonishing escalation in Christian persecution like we have rarely seen since the first century. Some estimate that every five minutes, a Christian is martyred for his or her faith. Countries like Egypt have experienced more Christian persecution in the last five years than in the previous six hundred years combined. And who could have missed the atrocities of ISIS in Syria, Boko Haram in Nigeria, and the continued persecution of Christians in North Korea? Johnnie Moore, like many American Christians, didn't fully appreciate the extent of what was going on--until he witnessed the graduation of theology students in India. Unlike graduation ceremonies in America--where feel-good speeches made by visiting celebrities are common--this one featured a remarkable oath. It wasn't an oath to excel or succeed. It was an oath to be willing to die, if necessary, for the cause of Christ. This was no empty promise. This was a choice, choosing the eternal over the temporal. Johnnie knew he was witnessing a raw, first-century Christianity that his comfortable American version had shielded him from. "For the first time, I really understand my faith," says Johnnie Moore. Now, he's on a mission to give this same experience to others. He and his team have crisscrossed the world, recorders in hand, gathering eyewitness accounts from dozens of people who survived persecution--and the stories of some who didn't. Join Johnnie Moore on this compelling journey to the heart of the Christian faith.

From the bestselling authors of The Nine Questions People Ask About Judaism comes a completely revised and updated edition of a modern classic that reflects the dangerous rise in antisemitism during the twenty-first century. The very word Jew continues to arouse passions as does no other religious, national, or political name. Why have Jews been the object of the most enduring and universal hatred in history? Why did Hitler consider murdering Jews more important than winning World War II? Why has the United Nations devoted more time to tiny Israel than to any other nation on earth? In this seminal study, Dennis Prager and Joseph Telushkin attempt to uncover and understand the roots of antisemitism -- from the ancient world to the Holocaust to the current crisis in the Middle East. This postmillennial edition of Why the Jews? offers new insights and unparalleled perspectives on some of the most recent, pressing developments in the contemporary world, including: • The replicating of Nazi antisemitism in the Arab world • The pervasive anti-Zionism/antisemitism on university campuses • The rise of antisemitism in Europe • Why the United States and Israel are linked in the minds of antisemites Clear, persuasive, and thought provoking, Why the Jews? is must reading for anyone who seeks to understand the unique role of the Jews in human history.

Persecution can kill the church—unless there is an adequate understanding of, preparation for, and response to this potentially fatal threat. Surviving Persecution is a study based on more than forty years of living and working with the Mayans of Chiapas, who inhabit the highlands of the southernmost state of Mexico. This book can serve as a guide for Christians living in a hostile environment to know how to avoid unnecessary persecution and to survive violent persecution when it strikes. This analysis of persecution can also be a valuable resource for students and congregations who desire to better understand the challenges and complexities of persecution. The last chapter gives guidelines for how national and international church organizations can play a vital role in helping the suffering church survive and thrive. From his personal experience of being the target of persecution and then working with the persecuted indigenous church, the author employs an anthropological approach with a biblical perspective to formulate a response to persecution that can promote the growth of the church.

This multi-disciplinary volume is one of the few collections about social change covering various cases of mass violence and genocide. In life under persecution, social relations and social structures were not absent and not simply replaced by an ethno-racial order. The studies in this book show the influence of social structures like gender, age and class on life under persecution. Exploring practices in family and labor relations and of collective action, they counter claims of an atomization of society or total uprootedness of victims. Despite being exposed to poverty and want and under the permanent threat of political violence, persecuted people tried to develop their own agency. Case studies are about the Jewish and Armenian persecutions, Rwanda, the war of decolonization in Mozambique and civilian refuges in Belarus during World War II. The authors are a mix of experienced scholars and young researchers.

The subject of this book is the discourse of persecution used by Christians in Late Antiquity (c. 300–700 CE). Through a series of detailed case studies covering the full chronological and geographical span of the period, this book investigates how the conversion of the Roman Empire to Christianity changed the way that Christians and para- Christians perceived the hostile treatments they received, either by fellow Christians or by people of other religions. A closely related second goal of this volume is to encourage scholars to think more precisely about the terminological difficulties related to the study of persecution. Indeed, despite sustained interest in the subject, few scholars have sought to distinguish between such closely related concepts as punishment, coercion, physical violence, and persecution. Often, these terms are used interchangeably. Although there are no easy answers, an emphatic conclusion of the studies assembled in this volume is that “persecution” was a malleable rhetorical label in late antique discourse, whose meaning shifted depending on the viewpoint of the authors who used it. This leads to our third objective: to analyze the role and function played by rhetoric and polemic in late antique claims to be persecuted. Late antique Christian writers who cast their present as a repetition of past persecutions often aimed to attack the legitimacy of the dominant Christian faction through a process of othering. This discourse also expressed a polarizing worldview in order to strengthen the group identity of the writers’ community in the midst of ideological conflicts and to encourage steadfastness against the temptation to collaborate with the other side.

Mafdy was a strong Muslim, radical in his faith, but he encountered questions about his faith that he could not answer. This led him to consider a different path. Agape lived as a good Muslim young girl, until she met Jesus in her late teens. Fear of Allah was the driving force of their relationship with Islam. The love of Jesus turned their hearts and caused them many, many problems. Solitary confinement, imprisonment, torture, rejection, and poverty. Where was God in their troubles? Where was God when rape occurred? Hadn't He promised to be with them and deliver them? When Mafdy and Agape's son was persecuted in school, they decided to give him up for adoption to a family in the United States. Just as God told Abraham to sacrifice Isaac, they were willing to give up their son. But where was the "ram in the bush?"Had God forsaken them? Would it be better to turn back to Allah? What does a Christian do when God hides his face?Mafdy's wife Agape was also born into a Muslim family. She was raised to believe and practice Islam. She also came to know Jesus as her savior, but when her family discovered she was locked in her room. Despite the persecution they faced, the knew that God was with them and they were called to evangelize their people. God's hand was upon them, even in their suffering. How could they stay and continue to face persecution? How could they raise a son in the midst of turmoil? Their story is one of thousands just like it in the persecuted church. Through this book you can see God's sovereignty in their lives even when His face was hard to see. I pray this book encourages you to find the faith to jump from the boat and join the great adventure of following God. Through the rains, the storms, the persecution the adventure is great for His glory. He does not forsake His people.
