Eyewitnesses to the modern "Age of Persecution"

An issue timelier than we even knew when we began

"Start Seeing Persecution" is the title of one of the hard hitting articles in the next issue of Christian History magazine. Scholar Roy Stults challenges us to open our eyes and take note of horrific acts that have been committed against Christians worldwide throughout the last hundred years.

Even as this issue was being printed, two news stories burst into national and international attention: a Sudanese Christian woman sentenced to death for refusing to renounce her faith, and Nigerian schoolgirl kidnappings motivated by opposition to what terrorist group Boko Haram sees as Western influences, including Christianity. Put these headlines in historical context in Christian History's issue 109. You can read it online now at https://www.christianhistoryinstitute.org/magazine/, and issues will be in mailboxes soon.
