The Christian presence in Jerusalem has always been diverse and
cosmopolitan, encompassing numerous churches representative of
ecclesiastical traditions older than many nation states and ethnic
groups. Indeed, the city's various Christian communities are
administered by three Patriarchs, five Catholic patriarchal vicars,
four archbishops and two Protestant bishops. From the end of the
Crusader period onwards, these communities have come under the rule
of numerous political entities, from the Ottoman Empire through to
the British Mandatory Administration and the modern states of
Jordan and Israel. The complex interaction of religion and
politics, and the involvement of Christians in politics, has been a
constant theme in the religious culture of Jerusalem. The essays
collected here provide a comprehensive historical, religious and
political survey of the Christian communities of modern Jerusalem.
Individual essays deal with topics ranging from church-state
relations to women missionaries and various expressions of Eastern
and Western Christian presence and, taken as a whole, offer a
fascinating overview of Christianity in the Holy Land at the
beginning of a new century.
