Holmes and Watson follow the trail of a phony ape-man skeleton to
the notorious Dr. Moriarty.
Among the Copts brings the reader face to face with the Christians
of Egypt by offering a comprehensive presentation of the life and
thought of the Coptic Orthodox Church at the turn of the
millennium. The book explores the important themes of the Copts
from the earliest moments of Christian history to the present day,
achieving an impressive balance between a critical re-examination
of Coptic history and original research. The work contains several
small biographies and numerous vignettes to illustrate the Coptic
experience as it is lived. These are presented in sections on
history, liturgy, art, theology, monasticism, politics, mission and
martyrdom. Controversial issues are sympathetically treated by a
writer who has a deep understanding and appreciation of Coptic and
Islamic culture in modern Egypt.
The recent decease of one of the descendents of Dr. Watson has
brought to light his personal papers. These include a number of
stories that Dr. Watson suppressed at the time for various reasons.
As all involved are long dead, the inheritor has agreed to the
publication of a set the most interesting adventures. This new
edition includes a further discovered story - The Adventure of The
Cricketers.
