The Arena of Twenty-First Century: Persecution Faith That Never Ended

We believe it is already over-the age when a person could be killed for what they believe. That is the comfort we tell ourselves. It is a lie.From the dynamited cathedral in Moscow to the twenty-one Coptic Christians beheaded on a Libyan shore; from the Yazidi women of Sinjar to Leah Sharibu, still held captive in Nigeria-persecution has not ended. It has only moved to where we do not look.The Arena of the Twenty-First Century traces the forgotten history of faith under fire: the Cristero War in Mexico, the Soviet erasure of the church, the genocide of Christians in Iraq and Syria, the imprisonment of Falun Gong practitioners in China, the blasphemy laws that shattered Asia Bibi, and the silencing of Baha'i and minority voices across the world.A neurologist's record of bewilderment-and an act of witness: to name the forgotten, and to refuse the erasing hand.
