Title: In Response to Persecution: Findings of the Under Caesar’s Sword Project on Global Christian Communities

Author: Under Caesar’s Sword Project

About: How do Christians respond to persecution? Some analysts have documented the global persecution of Christians, but few have asked what Christians actually do in response.

This report conveys the findings of Under Caesar’s Sword, the world’s first systematic global investigation into the responses of Christian communities to persecution. It includes country-by-country analysis, major global patterns, and recommendations for action.

“Under Caesar’s Sword” is a joint initiative between the Center for Ethics and Culture at the University of Notre Dame, the Religious Freedom Institute, and the Religious Freedom Project at the Berkley Center for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs at Georgetown University. The project is funded by the Templeton Religion Trust. Learn more about the Under Caesar’s Sword Project
