'The House of the Priest' presents and discusses the hitherto
unpublished and untranslated memoirs of Niqula Khoury, a senior
member of the Orthodox Church and Arab nationalist in late Ottoman
and British Mandate Palestine. It discusses the complicated
relationships between language, religion, diplomacy and identity in
the Middle East in the interwar period. This original annotated
translation and accompanying articles provide a thorough
explication of Khoury's memoirs and their significance for the
social, political and religious histories of twentieth-century
Palestine and Arab relations with the Greek Orthodox church. Khoury
played a major role in these dynamics as a leading member of the
fight for Arab presence in the Greek-dominated clergy, and for an
independent Palestine, travelling in 1937 to Eastern Europe and the
League of Nations on behalf of the national movement. Contributors:
Sarah Irving, Charbel Nassif, Konstantinos Papastathis, Karene
Sanchez Summerer, Cyrus Schayegh
