When I requested a review copy of Persecuted: The Global Assault on Christians by Paul Marshall, Lela Gilbert, and Nina Shea, I was expecting a collection of stories of Christians being persecuted around the world. What I received was more like a textbook in a paperback disguise. In this, I was disappointed.
However, after getting past the initial blow of unmet expectation, I was anything but disappointed by the book. It gives a comprehensive view of the persecution of Christians throughout the world. It is organized and referenced well. It is written with authority and is a very educational book on an important topic.
For a text book on global persecution of Christians, this is an excellent book. It is not, however, an easy-to-read collection of stories.
Thanks, BookSneeze, for providing this book for me to review.
