The Lanier Theological Library in Houston has posted the video of a lecture I presented last month, “Religious Freedom for Mideast Christians: Yesterday and Today.” In the lecture, I discuss the history of the Mideast’s Christian communities, their persecution today, and what Americans can do about it.
For those who are interested, the video is available here. Thanks again to Mark Lanier and everyone at the library for hosting me!
