Many of the destroyed works were written by Dr. Sookhdeo himself, internationally recognized for his scholarship on religious freedom, Christian persecution and Christian-Muslim relations. Destroyed alongside Dr. Sookhdeo’s works were ministry resources donated for Christian education, evangelism and the support of the persecuted Church. As far as can presently be established, neither Dr. Patrick Sookhdeo’s estate nor other authors whose works were destroyed were consulted before the books were pulped. The Christian community deserves a clear explanation for the destruction of some 20,000 books and ministry resources. David W.
