Centuries before the existence of the Islamic faith, there were Arabs who could be described as Christian. And there has been a Christian Arabism, an Arab Christianity, since Muhammad's day. Arab Christianity has survived Muslin dominance, and this enlightening book takes an in-depth look at its survival.

Kenneth Cragg is an eminent Anglican priest and scholar. He spent forty-five years in the Anglican Archdiocese of Jerusalem as Professor of Philosophy, Chaplain, and Assistant Bishop. His published works include hundreds of scholarly articles and more than thirty books.
This important book by an Anglican priest and scholar of Islam and Christianity deals perceptively with Arab Christians living in the Middle East--particularly Egypt, Lebanon, and Israel. Cragg discusses pre-7th-century Christianity, the effects of the rise of Islam, the influence of Greek and Latin Christianity, the effects of Western attitudes toward the region as expressed in crusades, and the problems of survival and self-fulfillment (since the Christian community suffers continuing attrition in light of recent crises in the region). Highly recommended for academic and large public libraries.
