Series: American Society of Missiology Monograph

The persecution of Christians is on the increase worldwide. In Nigeria, persecution has had an immense impact on the religious, economic, and social life of Nigerians, especially in northern Nigeria. Many Christians are concerned about how to properly respond to such oppression. This book meticulously examines contemporary responses to persecution alongside biblical and historical experience using the theoretical framework of Fight, Flight, and Fortitude. The writer is convinced that if Christians respond to persecution properly the gospel witness will be strengthened and bridges for peaceful interrelationship will be built in communities experiencing religious and cultural diversity.

Reviews for Through the Flames

"""I've known Yakubu Jakada for a little over forty years. He has a great passion for missions and peace, especially between Muslims and Christians. In this book, he has written on a very touchy area that impacts peace among Christians and Muslims in Nigeria, something much needed today. His work offers a practical approach to the hydra-headed problem in the country and brings new hope. It therefore deserves my commendation and full endorsement."" --James B. Kantiok, professor of peace and security studies, Ahmadu Bello University ""Yakubu Jakada provides a vivid window into the persecution that Christians face not only by Boko Haram and Fului herdsmen, but also more subtle forms in their everyday lives. Through ethnographic interviews, he provides a clear and moving description of the challenges that leaders grapple with as they seek to respond biblically to persecution in a way that positively affects evangelism and discipleship. This book is a challenge to all of us to respond to difficult situations in a way that advances our witness for Christ."" --A. Sue Russell, professor of missions and contextual studies, Asbury Theological Seminary"
