What It’s Like to Become a Christian in Iran
Source excerpt
Recent uprisings, violent crackdowns, and escalating tensions with the U.S. have brought added international attention to Iran, a nation of 93 million people, most of whom are Shia Muslim. Though Iran’s regime has been repressive for most of its citizens, conditions are more tenuous yet for its Christian minority. And there is no tolerance whatsoever for Iranians from Muslim backgrounds who choose to become Christian. But many are doing so. “Darius” is one of them. He is a thoughtful and dedicated follower of his adopted (and, for him, highly illegal) Christian faith.
