Description
FAITH UNDER FIRE
A Global History of the Persecution of Jews and Christians from Antiquity to the Twenty-First Century
From the earliest days of the Roman Empire to the modern world, Jews and Christians have faced persecution, exclusion, and violence because of their faith. Across continents and centuries, their stories reveal not only suffering, but also resilience, endurance, and the persistent struggle for religious freedom.
Faith Under Fire presents a comprehensive and deeply researched historical account of religious persecution. Drawing on global events, political movements, and ideological conflicts, this book traces how belief systems have been challenged, suppressed, and, at times, violently opposed.
This work explores:
The roots of religious persecution in ancient empires
The role of political power, ideology, and nationalism
The impact of totalitarian regimes and modern conflicts
The continuing challenges to religious freedom in the twenty-first century
Through careful analysis and historical insight, R. Robert offers a compelling narrative that connects past and present, showing how patterns of intolerance continue to shape the world today.
This book is essential reading for those interested in:
History and global affairs
Religion and society
Human rights and political systems
The enduring question of faith under pressure
Faith Under Fire is not just a historical study-it is a powerful reflection on freedom, belief, and the human cost of intolerance.
