Christianity is, by far, the most persecuted religion in the world today. The twentieth century saw more Christian martyrs than all the other centuries combined, yet this violence against Christians, in both word and deed, continues to this day. Over three hundred million Christians around the world face high degrees of hostility, and it is estimated that more than five thousand Christians are killed annually for their faith.What do their deaths demand? The violent killing and persecution of Christians all over the globe puts this question to every one of us-especially members of the Church who live and worship in relative comfort and ease. What are we doing to help our brothers and sisters? Indeed, do we even hear their cries at all?In What Do Their Deaths Demand? Christian Persecution Today, Bishop Robert Barron invites us to consider these urgent questions. Encounter the real stories of people persecuted for their faith, the spiritual dynamics behind the violence and oppression, and practical suggestions for what you can do about it-starting now.
