Middle East Christianity

Zusatztext

Drawing from theories of world society and from historical-sociological theories the book studies the past, present, and future of Middle East Christianity. It focuses on the interplay between local practices and post-colonial entanglements in global modernity. The chapters of this book engage, inspired by these theories, key empirical dynamics that affect Middle East Christianity. This includes a historical overview on the history of Christians in the region, the relationship between Islam and Christianity, as well as case studies on the Maronites in Lebanon, Egypt¿s Copts, the role of Protestant missionaries in the 19^th century, processes of individualization amongst Middle East Christians, as well as papal diplomacy in the region.
