Christianity is, by far, the most persecuted religion in the world today, and the violence is not a relic of history. Over three hundred million Christians currently face high degrees of hostility, and more than five thousand are killed for their faith every year. In What Do Their Deaths Demand? Christian Persecution Today, Bishop Robert Barron issues an urgent, soul-stirring call to every member of the Church: to open our eyes, hear the cries of our brothers and sisters, and respond with courage and charity. Drawing on real stories of modern martyrs, deep spiritual reflection, and the rich tradition of the Church, this compact yet powerful book refuses to let us look away—and shows us exactly what we can do.
