First Things readers in America interested in obtaining Rupert Shortts new book, Christianophobia , about the relentless persecution of Christians throughout the world (which I described here ), will be pleased to learn that Eerdmans will be bringing out an American edition of the book in 2013 . Until then, it will be available through its British publisher .
Shortt, the religion editor of the Times Literary Supplement , has written an important and powerful book which coincides with the Catholic Churchs increasing and necessary push for a greater protection of the rights of Christians .
