Re-Examining Religious Persecution : Constructing a Theological Framework for Understanding Persecution. (Religious Freedom Series 1), Charles L.Tieszen : book review

This book attempts to redefine the religious persecution of Christians by thoroughly examining it within a theological framework. First Tieszen deals with a number of misconceptions that confuse the issue, such as narrowing it to certain periods in history or geographical regions. He then develops definitions on three levels, starting with persecution in general and moving to religious persecution from a sociological perspective.
