Being the people of God in challenging times

ON BEING THE PATIENT PEOPLE OF GOD:
Freedom of religion, Christian conscientious objection, and the call to patient holiness in today’s world.
By Martin Davie
Gilead Books. 504 pages. £14.95
ISBN 978 1 838 182 854

What is “Freedom of Religion”, where does it come from, and what does it mean for Christians?

Why did the early church grow so rapidly in a world that was, in effect, anti-Christian? How are we to live and evangelise in our own context, today? Where can we discern the work of the evil one? Such questions are important to all Christians in every part of the world. This volume seeks to answer these questions and provides answers that are informative, provocative, and potentially productive.
