Their Blood Cries Out: The Untold story of Christians Who Are Dying for Their Faith (Dallas: Word, 1997), which won the Evangelical Publishers’ Association Gold Medallion and was selected by Christianity Today and other publications as one of the best books of the year. https://www.amazon.com/Their-Blood-Cries-Paul-Marshall/dp/0849940206/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1537491735&sr=1-1&keywords=their+blood+cries+out&dpID=51RNF0EXgzL&preST=_SY291_BO1,204,203,200_QL40_&dpSrc=srch. In speeches introducing the 1998 International Religious Freedom Act in the United States Senate, Senator Nickles described the book as “a powerful and persuasive analysis” and an “exhaustive survey,” “which simply cannot be ignored” and Senator Lieberman described it as “the manifesto of the religious freedom movement.”

My most recent book (co-authored with Nina Shea and Lela Gilbert) is Persecuted: The Global Assault on Christians, which was published by Thomas Nelson in 2013, and is currently the most comprehensive account of the contemporary persecution of Christians. https://www.amazon.com/Persecuted-The-Global-Assault-Christians/dp/1400204410%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAJ6TVW6TIV34STIEA%26tag%3Dhttpwwwhuds0e-20%26linkCode%3Dsp1%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D1400204410.

Silenced: How Apostasy and Blasphemy Codes are Choking Freedom Worldwide (co-authored with Nina Shea) was published by Oxford University Press in 2011. https://www.amazon.com/Persecuted-The-Global-Assault-Christians/dp/1400204410%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAJ6TVW6TIV34STIEA%26tag%3Dhttpwwwhuds0e-20%26linkCode%3Dsp1%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D1400204410. It is a survey of the Muslim-majority world and the West, showing the political effects of accusations of apostasy and insulting religion. The Forward was written by the late Abdurrahman Wahid, who was the head of Nahdlatul Ulama, the world’s largest Muslim organization, with over 50 million followers, and who was also the President of Indonesia, the world’s largest Muslim-majority country.  His Forward, “God Needs No Defense” has been widely reprinted and has even become an Indonesian pop song. https://docs.wixstatic.com/ugd/789970_722fb4d9dec9485ba5eaa0ea5140493a.pdf. The book also includes two essays by major Muslim scholars, the late Nasr Hamid Abu-Zayd, driven out of Egypt for his writings, and Abdullah Saeed. R. James Woolsey, former Director of Central Intelligence, wrote “In this eloquent and definitive work Marshall and Shea make a powerful case that for us to accommodate this, anywhere, would be disastrous–weakening truly moderate Muslims and those of us who support them, and seriously crippling our own freedoms of speech and religion.” In perhaps the nicest review I have received, Books and Culture stated “”Exhaustive, courageous research is on brilliant display in Silenced: How Apostasy and Blasphemy Codes are Choking Freedom Worldwide. Marshall and Shea compile a thorough dossier of existing Islamic blasphemy restrictions, show how they operate to bludgeon dissent, and chronicle a concerted campaign to export them around the globe. That alone would be a worthy achievement. But in addition, Silenced provides a ringing defense of free expression, upbraiding those who would acquiesce–out of craven fear, or flaccid political correctness–to a climate of self-censorship.”

There was an excellent, searching and extensive (circa 6500 word) review of the book in The New Republic by Paul Berman. “The Thought Police,” The New Republic, March 14, 2012. The review also gives an excellent summary. Berman writes “But everyone ought to be able to agree that, in composing their book, Marshall and Shea have accomplished something large and admirable. They have painted a portrait to accompany the series of Arab Human Development Reports from the U.N., except they have done so on a global scale, which no one has attempted before, at least not in a convincing or thorough way.” https://newrepublic.com/article/101716/islam-blasphemy-freedom-speech. New York Times columnist David Brooks listed Berman’s article as one of the best articles of the year, but unfortunately without mentioning that it was a review of Silenced. “The 2012 Sidney Awards,” New York Times, December 27, 2012 https://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/28/opinion/brooks-the-2012-sidney-awards-part-ii.html

The book has proved too controversial to be published in several countries and so the Arabic translation is only available on the web. Arabic https://docs.wixstatic.com/ugd/789970_1337a81e362a4278afbad9a900101d08.pdf. There is an Indonesian translation but it is not as yet available.

Selected 2009 book of the year by Religious Communication Association, the religion section of the association of professors of communication, and awarded the 2009 Wilbur Prize by the Religious Communicators’ Council. “It’s not often that I let out a whoop of joy when I read a book, but I did while reading Blind Spot: When Journalists Don’t Get Religion. I’ve been preaching this gospel for 15 years and it’s great to see it so brilliantly argued and supported in these pages. The editors have assembled a top-flight team of scholars and writers to build the case brick by solid brick. It is now an unassailable truth: without an understanding of religion, a journalist can miss the greatest stories of our time. This is the book I — and my students — have been waiting for.” –Professor Ari Goldman, Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism and author of The Search for God at Harvard
