As Thomas Schirrmacher's theological study will demonstrate, the Bible has a tremendous amount to teach us about persecution. Without a Biblical understanding, we are unlikely fully to grasp the nature of the spiritual battle, nor what it means to be sheep among wolves and, at the same time, both a wise serpent and innocent dove. The wonders of internet technology enable me to work with Thomas Schirrmacher on religious liberty issues both within a European context and under the umbrella of the World Evangelical Fellowship's Religious Liberty Commission. Electronic communication enables the global Church to share information, give advice and speak with a united voice on behalf of persecuted Christians. But, if we are to know how to pray, speak and act, we must rely on Scripture.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Thomas Schirrmacher</note> <subject> <topic>Persecution of Christians</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">272</classification> <classification authority="ddc">T454-S34</classification> <identifier type="isbn">3932829417</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2022/5/23/z3436321196464_728976d1a55781dfa1a33b331d6bdd57.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2022/5/23/z3436321196464_728976d1a55781dfa1a33b331d6bdd57.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordContentSource authority="marcorg">1</recordContentSource> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2022-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119070643.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
