What does the bible say about persecution of Christians? Many New Testament studies focus on persevering in faith to the end and responding even to perpetrators of persecution with love and forgiveness. Yet while there are unifying principles, the New Testament is filled with a range of experiences of and reflections on Christian persecution - texts that it is crucial to engage with in order to fully appreciate the bewildering array of experience and strongly held viewpoints amongst believers today. In When Christians Face Persecution, Chee-Chiew Lee explores the New Testament authors' theological understanding of persecution. She offers a thorough look at the biblical foundations, covering their responses to early Christian persecution, their evaluation of these responses, and how they encourage or persuade their recipients to persevere in their faith. Lee also brings these writings together to offer an integrated theology of facing persecution, reflecting on how the understanding of early Christian writers can be applied to the persecution of Christians today. When Christians Face Persecution is a valuable study that will enrich your knowledge of biblical teaching on persecution, and its continued relevance in the twenty-first century. It offers engaging theological synthesis as well as contextual reflection, and it invites you to a deeper understanding of the breadth of theological perspectives contained with the New Testament.

We are persecuted for our belief in the Bible We are imprisoned for our belief in God. We are executed for our belief that Jesus is the Son of God. Inside this book are our stories of persecution, imprisonment, and death at the hands of those who believe in other gods. I have researched stories around the world in every country on today’s map, detailing the persecution that Christians are subject to. Today, in North America, we see persecution in many different forms. Even in our country of the United States, we see different forms of persecution that were not seen before the COVID-19 pandemic. Soon, I believe we will see the same persecutions as we see today in other countries like India, China, and the Middle East. I invite you to read and see the persecution that Christians are subject to in 102 different countries.

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.

What Do the Five Points of Calvinism Really Mean? Many have heard of Reformed theology, but may not be certain what it is. Some references to it have been positive, some negative. It appears to be important, and they'd like to know more about it. But they want a full, understandable explanation, not a simplistic one. What Is Reformed Theology? is an accessible introduction to beliefs that have been immensely influential in the evangelical church. In this insightful book, R. C. Sproul walks readers through the foundations of the Reformed doctrine and explains how the Reformed belief is centered on God, based on God's Word, and committed to faith in Jesus Christ. Sproul explains the five points of Reformed theology and makes plain the reality of God's amazing grace.

Winner of the ECPA Book Award Journey alongside Persecuted Christians Take a 40-day journey to meet brothers and sisters who share in the sufferings of Christ. When Faith Is Forbidden takes you to meet a Chinese Christian woman who called six months in prison "a wonderful time," an Iraqi pastor and his wife just eight days after assassins' bullets ripped into his flesh, and others from our spiritual family who've suffered greatly for wearing the name of Christ. Each stop on this 40-day journey includes inspiration and encouragement through the story of a persecuted believer. You’ll also find space for reflection and a suggested prayer as you grow to understand the realities of living under persecution—and learn from the examples of the bold believers you'll meet. For more than 20 years, Todd Nettleton (host of The Voice of the Martyrs Radio) has traveled the world to interview hundreds of Christians who’ve been persecuted for the name of Christ. Now he opens his memory bank—and even his personal journals—to take you along to meet bold believers who will inspire you to a deeper walk with Christ.

For two thousand years, the Christian Faith has been steadily growing and spreading throughout the different nations of the world. However, anyone familiar with church history knows that followers of Jesus Christ have undergone great trials and afflictions, even hatred and contempt from those among the societies they live in. Christians hold within their minds and hearts the truths that lead to eternal life, and yet they have often faced ridicule and been ostracized from the cultures around them at different points throughout history. Since the time of the Protestant Reformation, Christian truths and beliefs have helped to transform the world we live in, especially in the formation of the affluent West. However, as we find ourselves becoming immersed within the trends of the 21st century, what was once a recognized and tolerated worldview is becoming more and more attacked and challenged within Western societies. What does the Bible say about this trend? How can believers face what seems like a downgrade into eventual persecution? A Theology of Persecution looks at the Bible and the history of the church to answer these questions and to give Christians answers and hope in these challenging times within which we currently find ourselves.

"Jesus never existed." "The Bible is a book of fairy tales." "Accounts of Christian persecution are fables." Christians of today face ridiculous claims of this type on a regular basis. These charges gain traction in the modern world because the average person has practically no knowledge of the Church's ancient past. I Am A Christian: Authentic Accounts of Christian Martyrdom and Persecution from the Ancient Sources aims to remedy this deficiency. The works collected in this book represent some of the most trustworthy first-hand accounts of the triumphs and travails of the early Church that have survived antiquity. These include several authentic transcripts of Roman legal proceedings against Christians, along with obscure but fascinating historical works that are unfamiliar to even the most informed Christians of today. In several cases, readers will be presented with the actual words of the martyrs themselves. In others, they will read accounts penned by eye-witnesses or authors writing within the living memory of the events themselves. Taken together, these works form a glorious record of early Christian zeal and fortitude in the face of aggressive state persecution. When reading them, one notices a common refrain: when questioned, the accused would cry out: “I am a Christian,” which was the equivalent of saying, “I am guilty as charged.” In an era when such an admission carried a death sentence, these authentic testimonies provide a convincing answer to modern skeptics who will find them as baffling as did the ancient Roman emperors, proconsuls and magistrates of nearly two millennia ago.

An insightful and (surprisingly) encouraging biblical explanation as to why trouble and persecution are inevitable for Christians. Since they are a peculiar people, are in the world but not of the world, and follow a Master who is offensive to many, Christians are naturally the objects of disdain and hostility. Understanding the nature of the enmity between the world and the Christian is critical for living in a world where Satan is its prince. The book is an attempt to start a conversation about the reality of Christian persecution. It is a wake-up call to the modern church, especially in the United States. "My hope for all who read this volume," writes the author, "is a strengthened faith. One of the most surprising aspects of studying persecution has been its effect on me. I thought I would feel woeful and defeated after hearing of such great suffering. However, the opposite is true. The Gospel, with its resurrection power, is able to take the worst situations and reframe them in victory. Hearing stories of triumph through suffering has been nothing short of glorious."
