Persecution and the Christian are as inseparable as the cross and
Christ. Yet, many Christians find it difficult to grapple with the
history of persecution and martyrdom that has characterized the
Church since her infancy. A selective reading of history might give
the mistaken impression that each day brought the imminent threat
of death or torture for members of the Early Church. On the other
hand, some contemporary scholars treat persecution as a myth
created by later generations. Thankfully, the scholarship of
Herbert Workman dispels both these misconceptions. Workman draws on
a wealth of primary and secondary sources, presenting a balanced
picture of persecution from the days of the Apostles to the dawn of
Christendom. But Workman is more than a scholar-he's a Christian,
which means he leaves no room for the reader to approach
persecution as a casual observer. He not only demonstrates what
true faithfulness looked like in the past, but equips the reader to
face the future with faith and courage.
