Iran

[ananar23]

Does anyone have any information on the persecuted church in Iran? I myself am half Iranian (father a naturalist), and am curious as to know. Technically since my father is Iranian citizen under Iranian law so am i. Anyway, any information would be great, thnx

Not exactly what you're looking for, but a link to some pictures and stories of beautiful ancient Persian churches

I also forgot to mention, that while this book addresses Asia in general, it does have large sections on history of Christianity in Persia:

One of my high school soccer teammates was from Iran and after getting to know him, I kind of became fascinated with the place. I've got all kinds of books, music, etc. from Iran. I've seen tons of traditional Iranian music in concert, etc.
