Abstract

The subject of Christianity and Christians in the Middle East would seem to many be as oxymoronic as the topic of ‘Islam in the West’. While interest in Western-based Islam as faith-cum-political ideology and in Muslims as a distinctive polity has accelerated in line with global geo-political developments, relative ignorance regarding Christianity and Christians in the Middle East has been the norm rather than the exception. This paper is a modest attempt to redress the lack of attention hitherto given to Middle Eastern Christians as a multi-disciplinary research area.Keywords: Middle East, Christianity, Arab Christian, Eastern Christian, Muslim-Christian relations
