Christianity in Egypt: A History of the Coptic Orthodox And Evangelical Presbyterian Churches: Theology and Mission in World Christianity, cartea 44

Autor Michael Parker
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 mar 2026
Drawing on primary sources as well as imminent scholars in the field, Parker has written a history of Christianity in Egypt that is scholarly and accessible. It challenges the common assumption that Egyptian Christianity is backward and irrelevant. Rather, as Parker writes in the preface, “the history of Egyptian Christianity presented in the pages to follow is of a people who enjoyed a brilliant golden age, suffered a long era of heartbreaking debilitation, and have now entered a period potentially breathtaking revival.” It is a story worthy in its own right but also inspiring and instructive for the global church.
