Christianophobia by Rupert Shortt

Those of us who are curious about the persecution of Christians in the Middle East and other non-Western countries will find this book helpful in documenting what is going on.  Rupert Shortt gives us information regarding the following countries: Egypt, Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, Turkey, Nigeria, Indonesia, India, Burma, China, Vietnam, North Korea, and the Holy Land.

Each chapter gives a history of the issues in that country and then documents many of the attacks against Christians and their churches, businesses, homes and schools.

With the atrocities of ISIS prevalent on the nightly news many Westerners are wondering what they can do or what is the cause of much of this violence and rage that is being poured out on the non-Muslim populations in the Middle East.  Shortt will give you some background and help you to clarify what has been happening not just recently but for many centuries.

The Western Church needs to read a work like this to get a better grasp on the issues facing God's people throughout the world. This book is not for the faint of heart as it will give you the details as to what is happening and the cruelty being inflicted on many innocent people, Christian as well as Muslim.

You will not find an answer to the problem within these pages, but you will find a good description of what the problem is.
