From the perspective of religion, however, many Americans think of that area only in terms of Muslims and Israeli Jews and are unaware of the extensive Christian communities that still exist there. Who Are the Christians in the Middle East? chronicles the history and current state of Christianity in this highly volatile region of the world. Written by a married couple who has lived and worked a long time in the Middle East, this book is must reading for anyone who wishes to be au courant on the Christian dimension of the Middle East. The Baileys describe each Christian denomination now active in the region and provide country-by-country reports on the present situation of the church. They also discuss the history of the relationship between church and state in the Middle East, pointing out the challenges to the future of Middle Eastern Christians.  aMiddle East  aChurches -- Development  aChurch and the world4 uhttps://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/15200/125.jpgyCover Image  aLê Phước Thắng  a231010TKH  c15051d15051  00104070aTVCDbTVCDd2026-01-20g0.00l0pTVCD-15051v0.00yBK
