Persecution 
And The Christian
Lessons

Welcome to the Persecution And The Christian course.  Persecution is not something anyone likes to think about, yet it is a reality.  Many Christians around the world suffer intense attack and imprisonment because of their faith.  The Bible has a lot to say about the topic, as you will see when you dive into your textbook, In The Shadow Of The Cross.  This textbook is required for this course.  If you don't have it yet, go to Textbooks and buy a copy.  If you would like to purchase a PDF copy of the book, email me.

This page is for registered students only.  It is not linked from our website, so you will have to bookmark this page or save the URL so you can return and complete your lessons.  Do not share this page.  If you know of people who would be interested in this course, send them to the registration page or the Joshua Institute course page.
