In the Shadow of the Cross

In this book Glenn Penner surveys the theme of suffering, affliction, and persecution throughout the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation. It describes the trials and persecutions endured by the men and women of God across Scripture simply because they sought to live godly lives. From Abel to the prophets, from John the Baptist to the disciples of Christ, the world has always rejected the truth. The author draws on the research and findings of more than two hundred Christian scholars, past and present. No book has yet explored the biblical theme of persecution so deeply and comprehensively.
