A timely look at the church's presence in the Middle East The
Middle East continues to dominate international news and global
politics. From the perspective of religion, however, many Americans
think of that area only in terms of Muslims and Israeli Jews and
are unaware of the extensive Christian communities that still exist
there. Who Are the Christians in the Middle East? chronicles the
history and current state of Christianity in this highly volatile
region of the world. Written by a married couple who has lived and
worked a long time in the Middle East, this book is necessary
reading for anyone who wishes to be au courant on the Christian
dimension of the Middle East. The Baileys describe each Christian
denomination now active in the region and provide
country-by-country reports on the present situation of the church.
They also discuss the history of the relationship between church
and state in the Middle East, pointing out the challenges to the
future of Middle Eastern Christians. In addition to these larger
discussions, the book features introductory chapters on the Middle
East and Christianity written by David A. Kerr, a professor of
Christianity in the non-Western world, and Riad Jarjour, general
secretary of the Middle East Council of Churches. Also included are
an informative timeline and short vignettes on people and places of
special historical significance to the church in the Middle East.
Based on personal experience, official church documents, and
extensive interviews, Who Are the Christians in the Middle East?
looks at the conflicted Middle East region from a perspective that
has received scant attention in the mainstream media.
