Abstract
This article discusses the witness of Protestant Christians in Turkey from historical, empirical, and theological perspectives. A historical survey from the Ottoman Empire around 1820 to the present is followed by an overview of the variety in forms of Christian witness today. Short, exemplary personal stories of converts from Islam to the Christian faith demonstrate the impact of the witness. In some concluding theological considerations and practical recommendations, the author pleads for the legitimacy and necessity of a Christian witness in Turkey that not only testifies about Jesus Christ but also is like Jesus—in weakness and sacrificial love.
