Under Caesar’s Sword: New Documentary Highlights Christian Response to Persecution

November 1, 2016

How do Christians globally respond to persecution? How will you respond? 

These questions are at the heart of a new documentary: Under Caesar’s Sword

Under Caesar’s Sword is a three-year, collaborative global research project that investigates how Christian communities respond when their religious freedom is severely violated. A team of 14 scholars, representing the world’s leading scholars of Christianity in their respective regions, traveled around the world to study Christian communities in over 30 countries including China, Indonesia, Nigeria, Syria, Egypt, Iraq, Pakistan, and India. 

The effort is a joint-project of the Religious Freedom Institute, the Notre Dame Center for Culture and Ethics, and the Religious Freedom Project at Georgetown University’s Berkley Center for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs.
