Download or read book Ahmadi and Christian Socio-Political Responses to Pakistan’s Blasphemy Laws written by Qaiser Julius and published by Langham Publishing. This book was released on 2017-09-30 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The roots of Pakistan’s blasphemy laws can be traced back to the British colonial rule in India, but their harsher clauses were added to the Pakistan Penal Code during a wave of intense Islamization in the 1980s. Everyone in Pakistan is threatened by the misuse of these laws, even Muslims; however a disproportionate number of victims targeted by these laws have come from two minority groups, the Ahmadis and Christians. Dr Qaiser Julius focuses on how these two groups have been affected by Pakistan’s blasphemy laws, their different reactions to these laws, and more specifically, why they are responding differently despite living under the same circumstances. In this well-structured and understandable study, Julius provides a valuable tool for Christians to understand what it means to be a minority in a hostile culture. This thorough analysis presents a way forward for the Christian church in Pakistan, providing hope amidst the discrimination and persecution.

Download or read book The Christians of Pakistan written by Linda Walbridge and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-10-12 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In May 1998, John Joseph, the first native Pakistani Catholic bishop, shot himself in front of the courthouse where a Christian had been sentenced to death for blasphemy. This book tells the story of the Christians in Pakistan, with Bishop Joseph as its centrepiece. It is an account of outcastes who sought hope through Christianity, but who now find themselves victims of a struggle to define Islam in Pakistan. The majority of Pakistani Christians are descendants of untouchables converted to Christianity in the late 19th century. In Pakistan a minority religion is linked with low status, perpetuating the Indian Hindu caste system even though the Muslim majority has disassociated itself from all things Hindu and Indian. The book also deals with enculturation in the Pakistani church, the rise of native clergy, conflicts between the local church and Rome, the rise of 'fundamentalist' Islam and the position of women in society and church.

Download or read book Jars of Clay written by Pauline A. Brown and published by Doorlight Publications. This book was released on 2006 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Out of the generation that grew up in the Great Depression and World War II, thousands of young Christians felt called by God to the ends of the earth. Pauline A. Brown, with her husband Ralph, and two other families, went to the Sindh Province in southern Pakistan in 1954 -- their goal, to share God's message love with Muslim Sindhis. This book is not just about North Americans abroad, but about a fellowship of ordinary people crossing cultural and linguistic barriers to take on the extraordinary challenge of establishing the Church in the Sindh desert. Jars of Clay is a story of laughter and tears, of danger and deliverance, of despair and hope, of victory and defeat. Above all, it is a story of perseverance in the face of great odds. The story of how the Church of Jesus Christ, small and fragile as it is, is taking root in the barren desert soil of Sindh in Pakistan, an Islamic Republic, is relevant more than ever in our post 9/11 world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The first European missionaries to India in the thirteenth century discovered to their surprise a flourishing community of Christians, isolated between the mountains and the ocean in southwest India. They are known to this day as the Thomas Christians; legend has it that the Apostle Thomas himself founded the church and become its first martyr. The history of the Christian church in India and Pakistan is a fascinating story. The church has had to fight against Hindu and Musli, antagonism, political and social discrimination, and rivalry among its own denominations. Yet the church has made a significant impact on the subcontinent of India. Its major success has been among people from the lower castes; even today the majority of Indian Christians come from those elements of society. An attempt was made, however, to reach people of all castes through education--and it is in this field that the church has made perhaps its greatest contribution to India as a whole. The schools which were founded to provide an opportunity to present the gospel, and this was a source of new converts. Other schools were established to provide theological training for Indian Christians, enabling them to assume places of leadership in the church. Today Christian schools educate 10 percent of all university students, even through Christians make up less than 3 per cent of the total population. Stephen Neill brings the personalities of the missionary pioneers, martyrs, and the enemies of the church vividly alive, portraying not only their successes but also their failures. He reveals the complexities of the changing political situation which so greatly influenced the church in India, and carries his account forward from the early Church of the Thomas Christians until formation of the great United Church of India, which combined the Anglican, Presbyterian, Congregational, and Methodist churches. He concludes with a discussion of the problems of the church in India and Pakistan today." - Publisher

This book was released on 2016-02-15 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume 2 of Christianity and Freedom illuminates how Christian minorities and transnational Christian networks contribute to the freedom and flourishing of societies across the globe, even amidst pressure and violent persecution. Featuring unprecedented field research by some of the world's most distinguished scholars, it documents the outsized role of Christians in promoting human rights and religious freedom; fighting injustice; stimulating economic equality; providing education, social services, and health care; and nurturing democratic civil society. Readers will come away surprised and sobered to learn how this very Christian link to freedom often invites persecution. What are the dimensions of persecution and how are Christians responding to that pressure? What resources - theological, social, or transnational - do they marshal in leavening their societies? What will be lost if the Christian presence is marginalized? The answers to these questions are of crucial relevance in a world awash with religious extremism and deepening instability.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christian Citizens in an Islamic State deals with the important question of inter-faith relations in Pakistan, a vital region of the Islamic world which has been the scene of the rise of both Islamic militancy and partnership with the West in counter-terrorism measures. Christians are the most important religious minority of Pakistan and their status and experience is a test case of the treatment of religious minorities in an Islamic state. This book covers new ground in exploring the various factors that govern the relations between Muslims and Christians in a nation state which has been politically unstable in the past, and where the imposition of Islamic law has been controversial and problematic for religious minorities. Theodore Gabriel clarifies the history of Christian-Muslim relations in the region, explores the rise of Islamic militancy, and draws on personal interviews to determine the mind set of both Christians and Muslims in Pakistan today.
