Coptic Studies from Egypt to Los Angeles is a Festschrift in honor of Hany N. Takla and presents a collection of essays-many of which contain unpublished archival material-showcasing historical and liturgical aspects pertaining to Coptic Christianity. The volume brings together the work of senior and emerging scholars and covers six themes that mirror the broad range of multifaceted fields characterizing Takla's scholarly interests.

Episcopal networks and authority in late antique Egypt : bishops of the Theban region at work /
:
"In this book the author examines how two bishops in the Theban region contributed to the rise of a new, anti-Chalcedonian church hierarchy, which became the forerunner of the Coptic Orthodox Church. Abraham of Hermonthis (ca. 590-621) and Pesynthius of Koptos (599-632) are exceptional, since a large number of their professional documents (mostly in Coptic) is preserved. By applying Social Network Analysis to these documents, the author reconstructed their individual social networks and linked them to a wider regional network that was centered on monastic communities in Western Thebes (west of modern Luxor), but also included a large number of civil officials, clergymen and lay men and women. In addition, a social model of episcopal authority was adopted, in order to evaluate how the bishops used their authority and to explain what made Pesynthius so extraordinary that he is still remembered as a saint by the Coptic Orthodox Church"-- Publisher's website.

Christianity in Egypt : A History of the Coptic Orthodox And Evangelical Presbyterian Churches /
:
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. Rather, as Parker writes in the preface, "the history of Egyptian Christianity presented in the pages to follow is of a people who enjoyed a brilliant golden age, suffered a long era of heartbreaking debilitation, and have now entered a period potentially breathtaking revival." It is a story worthy in its own right but also inspiring and instructive for the global church.
