Kurt Werthmuller introduces new scholarship that illuminates the varied relationships between medieval Christians of Egypt and their Muslim neighbors. Demonstrating that the Coptic community was neither passive nor static, the author discusses the active role played by the Copts in the formation and evolution of their own identity within the wider political and societal context of this period. In particular, he examines the boundaries between Copts and the wider Egyptian society in the Ayyubid period in three "in-between spaces": patriarchal authority, religious conversion, and monasticism.

When a fire torch was once lit for Umar Ibn Al-Khattab; he felt angdeep anxiety at its burning heat; so he reprimanded himself; "How will you be patient if you encounter this O son of Al-Khattab!" He was of course; making a worldly parallel with the unparalleled Fire of the Afterlife.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This is a study of everyday religious culture in Syria and Palestine in the 18th and 19th centuries (when they were part of the Ottoman Empire). It is a social history, dealing with beliefs and practices that are mostly forgotten or ignored in the region today, but that once occupied the religious mainstream. Contrary to standard theories about religion in the Middle East, this book argues that members of different religious groups participated in a common, overarching religious culture, which was still visible at the beginning of the 20th century.
