Review

[Van Gorder] argues that the ancient roots of Christianity in Persia (Iran) are deep and can potentially feed on-going interfaith dialog within the country. While recognizing the predominant influence of Shi’ite Islam and the increasingly common persecution of Christians since 1979, the book holds that such dialog is nonetheless possible, especially when cast in the context of official Iranian policies toward religious minorities, some of which—Zoroastrians and Baha’is in particular—have faced significantly worse treatment than the 'People of the Book.' The book encourages a general readership to engage interfaith dialog within a context where the grounds between dominant and subordinate religious traditions constantly shifts. It uses historical analysis and interfaith comparison to promote attitudes of reflection, love, and perseverance among Christians and thus a stronger, more deliberate Christian witness. (Glenn Sanders )

An absorbing and skillful articulation of the centuries old Muslim-Christian interaction in Iran, with an eye to contemporary developments. Christianity in Persia and the Status of Non-Muslims in Modern Iran is sure to become a required reading for understanding the role of interfaith relations in contemporary Iran. (Artyom Tonoyan )
