The study focusses on converts from Islam to the Christian faith in Turkey. Converts are confronted with special challenges. Based on Islamic theology and Turkish nationalism most Turks cannot think of positive reasons to choose Christianity. So verbal assaults with social consequences like ostracism, prejudice, suspicion, and very low esteem are very common. The First Letter of Peter provides advice for strengthening new Christians by defining their identity as chosen und loved people of God.
Personal caring for converts from Islam is crucial to provide a new âhomeâ in assuring them of their new identity. They have to learn to evaluate accusations honestly, and from a faith-based position, and to integrate their new faith with their old environment. In the context of modern Turkey a fresh look at history can be meaningful: There were Turkish Christians before Islam, and there are still Christian Turkish people today. More important however is a genuine spiritual approach that understands verbal assaults within the framework of Godâs history with his people. Converts should find their identity âin Christâ. At the same time, being in Christ must become practical in finding a new family in the local church and seeing themselves as part of the worldwide multinational body of Christ.

El estudio se centra en los conversos del Islam a la fe cristiana en TurquÃa. Los conversos enfrentan desafÃos particulares. A raÃz de la teologÃa islámica y del nacionalismo turco, para la mayorÃa de los turcos no existen buenas razones para optar por el cristianismo. Entonces, son muy comunes los ataques verbales con consecuencias sociales tales como el ostracismo, el prejuicio, la sospecha y la baja estima. La Primera epÃstola de Pedro da consejos para fortalecer a los nuevos cristianos al definir su identidad como el pueblo escogido y amado de Dios.
Es esencial el cuidado personal de los conversos del Islam para proveerles con un nuevo âhogarâ que garantice su nueva identidad. Tienen que aprender a considerar honestamente las acusaciones desde una postura basada en la fe y a poder integrar su nueva fe con su antiguo entorno. En el contexto de la TurquÃa moderna, un nuevo enfoque sobre la historia puede ser significativo: HabÃa cristianos turcos antes del Islam, y hay cristianos turcos en la actualidad. Sin embargo, lo más importante es un enfoque espiritual genuino que conciba los ataques verbales dentro del marco de la historia de Dios con su pueblo. Los conversos deberÃan encontrar su identidad âen Cristoâ. A su vez, el estar en Cristo debe ser capaz de hallar una nueva familia en la iglesia local y verse a sà mismo como parte del cuerpo mundial de Cristo.
