A PEOPLE BETRAYED
The Impact of Islamisation on the Christian Community in Pakistan
By Patrick Sookhdeo. Christian Focus & Isaac Publications. 454 pages. £14.99

The published version of Dr. Sookhdeo's PhD thesis makes for an informative read and is generally well-researched, consistent with its academic background.
Several issues mark out the book's importance: first, the last serious study of the church in Pakistan published in the UK is now over 30 years old. This is, therefore, a welcome addition to Pakistan studies collections, giving voice to Christian scholarship on Pakistan where the Muslim voice currently dominates almost to the exclusion of all others.
