A welcome addition to the growing scholarship on Christianity in North Africa and West Asia. In an accessible style the forty contributors, most of whom are from the region, paint a broad picture of contemporary Christianity in North Africa and West Asia, including Cyprus, Sudan, Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan, preceded by an excellent introduction by Mariz Tadros.--Heleen Murre-van den Berg "Journal of Eastern Christian Studies"

An accessible and up-to-date reference tool for those interested in finding an overview of the topic... I highly appreciate the attention given to making this a comprehensive text, both geographically and thematically-- "Professor Paul Rowe, Trinity Western University"
