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.
