He gives an insightful portrait of the Middle East problem and the fact that Israel lost many Christians. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants a reasoned and balanced perspective by an seasoned journalist who knows the area and longstanding issues. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
As the Middle East has gone up in flames, no image so captured the clash of cultures as did the siege at the Church of the Nativity, where Christian monks were trapped inside the fortress-like church, as Palestinian gunmen faced off against the Israeli military for five weeks. As Muslim and Jew battled for control, the Christians were caught in the crossfire: endangered and largely forgotten, victims of somebody else's war. In The Body and the Blood, Charles M. Sennott examines the dwindling Christian communities of the modern Middle East in search of answers to the following questions: Why is Christianity dying out in the land where it began? And what are the consequences, not only for the future of Christianity but for the Middle East itself? From Israel to Lebanon to Egypt to Jordan to the ancient cities of the West Bank, Sennott finds that the themes resonating today are the same as those that convulsed the region at the time of Christ. His frontline reporting is powerful and provocative, as he shines a new light on the Middle East. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

Sennott...finds similar themes resonating today as they did two thousand years
ago: economic injustice, military occupation, religious extremism, apocalyptic
prophecies, and the quest to control Jerusalem.
