520 |a Drawing on primary sources as well as imminent scholars in the field, Parker has written a history of Christianity in Egypt that is scholarly and accessible. It challenges the common assumption that Egyptian Christianity is backward and irrelevant.

It is a story worthy in its own right but also inspiring and instructive for the global church.
