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 19th
century, processes of individualization amongst Middle East
Christians, as well as papal diplomacy in the region.
