The Cradle of Our Faith: The Enduring Witness of the Christians of the Middle East
Who are the Christians who live in the Middle East today? How did the first-century church develop in the land of Jesus’ birthplace and spread to the far corners of the region? The Cradle of Our Faith is a fascinating portrait of these “living stones” of the early Christian Church. Learn about the modern-day Christian communities of Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Iran, Israel/Palestine, Iraq, and Egypt. Understand their distinctive theological roots, liturgical traditions, and relationship to the prevailing Muslim-majority culture. Trace the troubled historical relationship between the Eastern and Western Church. This beautifully illustrated, 20-page full-color keepsake booklet features photography, maps, statistics, and fascinating facts.
